[GRASS-dev] GRASS working under Mac El Capitan with SIP/rootless?

[Michael Barton]

I don't remember where this was from originally. Many months back. I *think* it may have been when I was trying to use wxPython3. SIP was already off.

Oddly, the only things I've run into that don't work so far are 3D mode, vector digitizer, and raster digitizer. The only errors are the following in the terminal at startup:

Launching <wxpython> GUI in the background, please wait...
GRASS 7.3.svn (nc_spm_08_grass7):~ > Unable to import pyGRASS: grass_gis.7.3.svn not found.
Some functionality will be not accessible

And the following in the console after startup:

3D view mode not available
Reason: grass_gis.7.3.svn not found.

Vector digitizer not available
Reason: cannot import name GV_LINES
Note that the wxGUI's vector digitizer is currently disabled
(hopefully this will be fixed soon). Please keep an eye out
for updated versions of GRASS. In the meantime you can use
"v.digit" from the Develop Vector menu.

The 3D mode error seems similar to the pyGRASS not importing error
I'm not sure where GV_LINES comes from.

Any ideas on this? If these turn out to be the only problems, we are close to finally getting this issue resolved.

This is likely caused by the fact that the dynamic libraries are not loaded because the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is ignored. If you disable SIP you will get past that.

Anyway I don't understand why the modules are working (e.g. GRASS and GUI starts) and ctypes are not (v digitizer, 3D, PyGRASS depend on ctypes loading the GRASS libs). It seems that that's the part needed to resolve this issue. (It is actually the same for Homebrew as well.)

PyGRASS should not be touched during startup and in GUI, so I don't know where "Unable to import pyGRASS" is coming from but that's a secondary issue not spotted elsewhere (it is also an old version).
