[GRASS-user] Grass Fails to Start on Opensuse 12.3

[Scrub]

I'm new to Grass and just trying to get it started under Opensuse 12.3.
Is this the right place to seek help on this matter?

I execute the command 'grass' (as below) and the first error
{(python:2299): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion
`GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed} occurs prior to being prompted for the
working directory (GrassData). Then after selecting the working
directory and the necessary location and mapsets and starting Grass, the
programme begins to start, then fails upon the final error message
{ValueError: invalid null reference in method 'ToolBarBase_DoAddTool',
expected argument 4 of type 'wxBitmap const &'
^C}.

The full logs are below. Any help would be appreciated.

Wayne.
