[GRASS-dev] g.extension still broken in GRASS 7 on Mac

[Michael Barton]

OK. This is weird.

I have installed on a different computer the same build of GRASS 7 that I tested this on last Friday, where it worked fine. 

Outside of the difference that the other computer is a Mac desktop (iMac) and this one is a laptop (MacBook Air), they are set up the same (OS, Python, etc). I am testing this on the same extensions that I tested last Friday. But now I get a permission denied error and clearly GRASS is trying to create a directory in the wrong place again. 

Both GRASS_ADDON_BASE and GRASS_ADDON_PATH are set correctly 

GRASS 7.0.svn (nc_spm_08):~ > $GRASS_ADDON_PATH
bash: :/Library/GRASS/7.0/Modules/bin: No such file or directory
GRASS 7.0.svn (nc_spm_08):~ > $GRASS_ADDON_BASE
bash: /Users/cmbarton/Library/GRASS/7.0/Modules: is a directory

Here is the error. I get the same thing even if I specify the proper directory by using the "prefix" argument.

GRASS 7.0.svn (nc_spm_08):~ > g.extension extension=r.stream.order
Fetching <r.stream.order> from GRASS-Addons SVN (be patient)...
Compiling...
mkdir: /Applications/GRASS/bin: Permission denied
make: *** [/Applications/GRASS/bin] Error 1
ERROR: Compilation failed, sorry. Please check above error messages.

Where is it getting this path????

If I make /Applications/GRASS writable by anyone, compilation succeeds. The compiled binary is installed correctly into the directory specified by $GRASS_ADDON_BASE and NOTHING is written to /Applications/GRASS/bin

This is completely bizarre.
