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

[William Kyngesburye]

Why it's working for Rainer's compiled GRASS at runtime is because all the GRASS libraries and executables and dependencies have the same embedded paths as where they are installed.  DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is still ignored from SIP, but it's not needed.

The binary app install has the extras with different paths from where they are bundled in the GRASS app.  Whatever you do with SIP for install does not matter, if SIP is on when the GRASS app is run it will fail.

[Marvin]  You think you have problems?  What are you supposed to do if you ARE a maniacally depressed robot?  No, don't try and answer, I'm 50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer...
