[GRASS-user] Another error with wxpython GUI in RC6

[geep999]

Hi Martin, Glynn & everybody,

Problem solved (accidentally!) - not totally sure how.
And found a new (to me!) dependency - NumPy.

1/ When I started "grass63 -wxpython" the first few times I was in my home
directory.
When I got the nasty error messages initially reported I did not have any
GIS Data.

Later I copied a GIS Data Directory from another PC into $HOME/MountDoom
Then:
cd $HOME/MountDoom
grass63 -wxpython   (whilst in $HOME/MountDoom)

No more nasty error messages, instead I got this:
dad at VMSLACK12_1_RC1:~/MountDoom$ grass63 -wxpython
Cleaning up temporary files.....
Starting GRASS ...
GRASS GUI should be wxpython

Welcome to GRASS 6.3.0svn (2008)
GRASS homepage:                          http://grass.osgeo.org/
This version running thru:               Bash Shell (/bin/bash)
Help is available with the command:      g.manual -i
See the licence terms with:              g.version -c
If required, restart the GUI with:       g.gui wxpython
When ready to quit enter:                exit

GRASS 6.3.0svn (MountDoom):~/MountDoom > profile.py:
    This module requires the NumPy module,
    which could not be imported.  It probably is not installed
    (it's not part of the standard Python distribution). See the
    Numeric Python site (http://numpy.scipy.org) for information on
    downloading source or binaries.
GRASS 6.3.0svn (MountDoom):~/MountDoom >

2/ So, I installed this new dependency ;) NumPy.
Lo and behold, without so much as a ./configure or make, I find that
grass63 -wxconfig is running with a shiny new interface.

3/ It seems that launching from within $HOME/MountDoom was somehow the trick
that got me started,
and stopped the nasty error messages.

I note that -wxpython and -tcltk show different Project Locations
when launched from my $HOME directory.

-tcltk lists all directories in $HOME in the Project Location box
-wxpython only lists directory MountDoom in the Project Location box

Cheers,

Peter
