[GRASS-dev] GRASS 7 crashes on startup on Mac

I think we're probably at a point of not being able to do a single binary package for both Snow and Lion+ - too many differences.  It's not quite possible to install both 2.9 carbon for Python 2.6 and 2.9 cocoa for Python 2.7 - while the python parts are separate, the C library parts of one will overwrite the other, and they are probably not compatible.

The way I handle it is to compile wxpython myself.  I can install each in completely separate locations and reference whichever I need for Snow or Lion builds.  BUT, I haven't tried this yet for 2.9 carbon ON lion, I may have to also compile wxpython 2.9 carbon on Snow (and maybe even GRASS).

I have not seen the toolbox, but it may reuse the same code. If I knew what this new code is, I might be able to troubleshoot it. But I don't have time to try to reverse engineer it without guidance as to where to look. The error on importing wx is misleading as to what the real error is.

It might be related because from the errors in the log it seems that the virtual grass session is not there. If the problem is still there, please send me updated compilation log.
