 This is from Help-->about system:

 (please note that the build date shown above is incorrect and should read
 2015-02-21)

 I have by process of elimination determined that it is the section of the
 $HOME/.grass7/addons/modules.xml file for "r.to.vect.lines" addon that is
 causing grass to not start:


 {{{
     <task name="r.to.vect.lines">
         <description>None</description>
         <keywords>None</keywords>
         <binary>
             <file>/home/rick/.grass7/addons/scripts/r.to.vect.lines</file>
 <file>/home/rick/.grass7/addons/docs/man/man1/r.to.vect.lines.1</file>
 <file>/home/rick/.grass7/addons/docs/html/r_to_vect_lines_example.png</file>
 <file>/home/rick/.grass7/addons/docs/html/r.to.vect.lines.html</file>
         </binary>
         <libgis revision="64007" />
     </task>
 }}}

 Removing this section from the file now allows grass to start. However, I
 see no menu items for any of the installed addons. Should there be menu
 items for the addons? And if so, where in the gui would I find them?

 I have attached the $HOME/.grass7/modules.xml file that now allows grass
 to start.
