[GRASS-user] GRASS GIS 7.03 for Mac OS X, problem with wxPython (missing)

Tue Mar 15 05:51:54 PDT 2016

Yes, SIP is a new security feature that prevents any applications from
writing to a few key OS paths.  I believe that it really is that simple.
(see:  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204899 )
Which, does beg the questionŠwhy does running GRASS require writes to any
of these folders?  That suggests that GRASS is doing something that it
shouldn¹t be doing.  Why should it be writing to system folders at all at
runtime?
It is the only application that I have run into that has any problems with
SIP.  It would seem that this should be an easy fix.  (for example just
use /usr/local instead of /usr, or whatever the problem folder is).
