Comment (by morenocomelli):

 Same problem with GRASS 7.0.2 and GRASS 7.1.[[BR]]
 GRASS looks for location and mapset, and since there are none defined when
 starting the first time, the error appears (in text mode only).[[BR]]
 If mapset and location are created through gui, at next start in text mode
 they're the default settings. An other option is to create the
 /root/.grass7/rc file with proper parameters and the missing part of dir
 tree (the supposed dirs with database, location and mapset).
