[GRASS-user] GRASS 6.4.2

[William Kyngesburye]

That looks like Michael Barton's package.  We both use the same base frameworks.  And we both bundle wxPython in the application so there is no need to download and install that (it will be ignored by GRASS).

The invalid context error should be harmless.

Certainly make sure the frameworks are installed - due to the way GRASS functions, it's possible to "run" GRASS without the frameworks, then hit problems when trying to run GRASS commands or the GUI.

Note that the digitizer in the GUI is broken - an oversite in testing for 6.4.2. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, and an updated package released.
