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

[Martin Landa]

Hi,

2008/4/13, geep999 <geep999 at yahoo.co.uk>:
>  -there is an error if there is no directory called PERMANENT
>  in a directory below the directory where grass63 -wxpython is run

strange I cannot reproduce this error (python 2.4.5, wxpython 2.8.7.1)

rm -r /home/martin/.grassrc6
ls
[nothing]
grass630 -wxpython
[gui starts -> list of locations/mapsets empty]

The patch I sent you didn't help?

BTW, can you install also grass_trunk and check if the same error appears?
