[GRASS-user] grass6.4.6 on debian 8

[Vincent Bain]

Hi,
Trying to install grass-6.4.6svn on a fresh debian jessie, I have no
errors during compilation/installation. But when I launch grass64, no
gui opens up, and I get the following error message on the terminal :
                
                Traceback (most recent call last):

                in position 58: ordinal not in range(128)
                
I tried to rebuild after a distclean, even purged completely my svn src
directory, but the error is still the same.

Did anybody experience the same issue recently ?

Thanks,
Vincent.
