I'll dig around some more.  There may be something hidden in my development environment that is making it work for me and not making it into the installer.  Though it does work on my clean mac.

2.6.1 is the Apple-installed python.  2.6.4 can only be from python.org that you installed.  2.6.1 should work - I don't have python.org python installed, so everything is compiled from and runs (for me) on the system 2.6.1.

This would be a python.org python problem - my NumPy installer only installs into the system site-packages folder, so python.org doesn't see it.  You would have to install numpy from the numpy site, they have a binary for the python.org python.

It was decided that the digitizer (and wxnviz/3D view) had too many problems yet (especially on windows), so it was disabled.

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.
