[GRASS-dev] Issues installing GRASS 7.0 from Ubuntu PPA

[Isaac Ullah]

Sorry, premature send! Here's the error message:

Launching <wxpython> GUI in the background, please wait...

    returncode=returncode)
grass.exceptions.CalledModuleError: Module run None ['g.version', '-rge']
ended with error
Process ended with non-zero return code -11. See errors in the (error)
output.

I still have a GRASS session in the terminal, and can run some grass
commands, but not others. For example, "g.region -p" is fine, but
"g.mremove" give the following error:

g.mremove: command not found

The strange thing is that about a month ago, I was able to install a
perfectly working version of GRASS7 on a similar computer with no issues
(other than the apparently ineffectual error with g.version). I've tried
this on three separate computers, and all have the same problem. I've tried
installing all the dev packages I could think of (for example, all wx
python dev libraries), but nothing seems to help.

Any ideas what's going on? What can I do?
