Obviously because GISBASE was not selected in previous step.
Which platform, compiled yourself? GISBASE should be compiled
into the plugin using --with-grass and you are only prompted for
GISBASE if it was removed.
What does it mean 'won't allow selection of a directory'?
Most probably the directory you selected is not GISBASE.
The dialog is checking for $GISBASE/etc/element_list.
