That's wrong. GISBASE needs to point to the root of the GRASS
installation directory, which contains everything *except* for the
startup script (typically in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin). A typical
value for GISBASE is /usr/local/grass-6.4.0.

In which case, GISBASE should probably be set to /usr/lib/grass64, and
PYTHONPATH should include /usr/lib/grass64/etc/python.
