[GRASS-user] Grass 6.4, Opensuse 13.1/13.2

Dear all,

A couple of weeks ago I made the mistake of upgrading Opensuse on this 32 Toshiba Laptop to 13.2.  Grass failed to work with error messages indicating NumPy had not been installed.  It had been installed but did not contain the files Grass was looking for.  Attempts at removing and re-installing NumPy all produced the same incomplete file set.  (i586 installation)

I have reverted to Opensuse 13.1 and now have another non working version Grass 6.4

Traceback (most recent call
GRASS 6.4.3 (South_Oxfordshire):~ > Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/grass/etc/wxpython/wxgui.py", line 139, in <module>
sys.exit(main())

return _controls_.ToolBarBase_DoAddTool(*args, **kwargs)
ValueError: invalid null reference in method 'ToolBarBase_DoAddTool', expected argument 4 of type 'wxBitmap const &'

I am assuming both the errors in 13.2 and now in 13.1 are due to installation issues.  Grass 6.4 worked well in 13.1 until I upgraded.  Can anyone help?

Thanks
