Rich,

did you see
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/649
?

To which I responded,

> Nope. I'll grab wxPython-4.1.0 and see if it builds with the SBo script.

Here's the latest;

I'm moving this to the user mail list because I'm not subscribed to the dev
mail list.

I downloaded wxPython-7.1.0 source code, changed the version number in the
SlackBuilds.org (SBo) build script, and the build completed without errors
other than a couple of empty metadata files.

However, when I try to start 'grass79 -gui' it fails with these errors:

$ grass79 -gui

Is this a grass issue or an SBo issue? If the latter I'll let the package
maintainer know and he'll probably have it fixed tomorrow.
