[Changing list to grass-dev, at least the traceback is compilation problem.]

About the traceback, it seems as a compilation issue in the PPA. During
compilation the menudata.xml file should created in gui/wxpython/xml/ but
probably it is not.

There is a note about some changes in the repository at:
https://launchpad.net/~grass

Can someone from the Launchpad GRASS GIS team check/explain what is
happening? With this file we have problems at Mac but Ubuntu and Windows
were successfully tested (but still, the related Makefile is bit strange,
so that might be a problem).

Here is what my ls says after I run make:

$ ls gui/wxpython/xml/
grass-gxm.dtd  menudata.dtd          menudata.xml              toolboxes.dtd
grass-gxw.dtd  menudata_modeler.xml  module_items.dtd          toolboxes.xml
main_menu.dtd  menudata_psmap.xml    module_tree_menudata.xml
 wxgui_items.dtd
main_menu.xml  menudata.README       module_tree.xml
wxgui_items.xml

$ ls dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/etc/gui/wxpython/xml/
grass-gxm.dtd  menudata_modeler.xml  module_items.xml
 wxgui_items.dtd
grass-gxw.dtd  menudata_psmap.xml    module_tree_menudata.xml
 wxgui_items.xml
main_menu.dtd  menudata.README       module_tree.xml
main_menu.xml  menudata.xml          toolboxes.dtd
menudata.dtd   module_items.dtd      toolboxes.xml

problem, so there probably nothing you can do on you machine except for
checking files:
/pathtograss7/etc/gui/wxpython/xml/menudata.xml for GRASS 7
/usr/lib/grass64/include/Make/Module.make for GRASS 6 (above says 'no such
file' already)
