[GRASS-user] Need help identifying missing wxgtk dependencies

[Eric Patton]

HI,

I'm doing a fresh install of Grass 8.3dev on a new laptop running Linux Mint 20.3. It's been a while since I've had to do a new install, so used the Linux Mint wiki instructions here: https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install#Linux_Mint

I had no obvious error during configure/make/install.

> g.version -gre
version=8.3.dev
date=2022
revision=c1b1ff69d
build_date=2022-08-11
build_platform=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
build_off_t_size=8
libgis_revision=2b85ab5eb
libgis_date=2022-07-25T15:37:35+00:00
proj=7.2.1
gdal=3.5.1
geos=3.11.0sqlite=3.31.1

After launching Grass, g.region -p gives:

> g.region -p
projection: 99 (unnamed)
zone: 0
datum: wgs84
ellipsoid: wgs84
north: 149300
south: 124200

east: 7800
nsres: 100
ewres: 100
rows: 251
cols: 337
cells: 84587
free(): invalid pointerAborted (core dumped)

Launching g.gui gives a popup window that says "Unable to get geographic extent. Force quitting wxGUI. Please manually run g.region to fix the problem."

On the terminal, this was printed after launhcing g.gui:

> g.gui
Launching <wxpython> GUI in the background, please wait...
[wxdigit.py](http://wxdigit.py/): Could not load grass_gis.8.3.[wxnviz.py](http://wxnviz.py/): Could not load grass_gis.8.3.

I noticed in the wxGUI console these messages:

"3D view mode not available
Reason: cannot import name 'DM_FLAT' from 'nviz.wxnviz' "

and also this one:

"Vector digitizer not available.
Reason: name 'sys' is not defined".

I thought I had all python/wxwidgets dependcies satisfied, but I must be missing something obvious??

Additionally, I wanted to ask if we have a searchable​ Grass mailing list site? The [mailman site](https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/) is kind of useless for trying to search old messages.

Thanks for any clues!
