[GRASS-user] Mac 6.4.1-3 Update Problems

[Dave Kent]

Thank you.

I tried new build 6.4.1-4.  The same error persisted.

I then installed 6.4.1-4 on a second computer at home (upgraded from 6.4.1RC1.)

This works well.

Three questions:

1) Home computer (working) shows Python 2.6.4.  Problem computer shows Python 2.6.1.  Is this a concern?

2) On home computer, (working) I installed NumPy from GDAL  Complete framework.  But start screen says:

GRASS 6.4.1 (xxxxxxx):~ > g.gui wxpython
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.

Is this a Python version issue; Do I need to update from python.org?

3)  Unrelated question.  On 6.4.1RC1 the wxpython digitizing feature worked.  Not so on 6.4.1-4.   Is this intended or am I missing something?

Thanks again for help.

Dave

I did forget to update the wxPython part of my GRASS distribution to use the new UnixImageIO, so that may be the problem for you (though you'd probably get a more fundamental error if that was the case).  I'll have a new package online soon.
