I am currently trying to compile 7.2 on EPEL6 using Fedora's COPR platform.

At time I struggle here:
   DEBUG util.py:435:  Error: No Package found for python-matplotlib-wx
see
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/neteler/grass72_epel6/epel-6-x86_64/00502967-grass/root.log.gz

with which configure flag can I disable this part since
python-matplotlib-wx will not be there (I tried for a while to compile
that but no way it seems)?

thanks
Markus
