I may not be able to recompile 6.4 and test until next week. So if anyone has a very recent version I'm hoping this can be quickly tested.
We have a pretty new (within a couple weeks) version of 6.4 on Ubuntu in my lab and my student just mentioned that the map calculator is broken. What seems to be happening is that picking 'map calculator' from the raster menu is trying to start up r.mapcalc (which does not have a GUI in GRASS 6.4) instead of starting the wxPython map calculator GUI.
Can anyone test to see if this is still happening? If so, it is probably pretty easy to fix. If Martin is tied up, I think I can get in to fix it next week.

I can't test from where I am right now, but I'd note the
second to last change to menudata.xml:

Message:
wxGUI: map calc clean up
(merge r42183, r42184, r42186, r42187 from trunk)
also I'd note that it appears that "Map calculator" has been
renamed to "Raster calculator" in the Raster menu with this
change. (it took me a few moments to find it as I was looking
for the traditional name)

I've now tested `Raster -> Raster Calculator` from the latest 6.4svn,
all works as expected. Try again....
fyi the &, &&, &&& buttons appeared wrong, and some typos in the tool
tips. (hopefully now all fixed in svn)
maybe add another row to the map calculator with rgb#, @label, and <<< ?
I see there are tooltips in the code for the buttons to explain what
they do (e.g. |, ||, |||, >>>, ...), but for me they take >10 sec to
show up in the GUI. (or .5 sec after `unclutter` kicks in to hide the
mouse cursor), so not very useful unless you are very patient. ??
