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

[Hamish]

a web search brings up some old emails about the same error message,
maybe they help:


http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-gui/2007-June/000532.html
http://grass.fbk.eu/pipermail/grass5/2007-May/031228.html

did you build GRASS by hand or from a package downloaded from somewhere? maybe the install is incomplete or some 3rd party dependency is missing?
