Agree. This was the basis of my question too.

now gui/Makefile checks for wxPython instead of Python. wxPython stuff
is installed only if --with-wxpython is given.I think Glynn's point was that the installation should simply be
unconditional with no checks in gui/Makefile - the wxPython stuff is just
scripts and doesn't need Python to be installed on the compilation system
for the scripts to be processed in any way (unlike C compiling) - the
requirement for wxPython is only on the system that GRASS is run on so it
should be a runtime check rather than a comile-time check.Of course if the wxPython stuff does require Python on the compilation
system, then what I've said is totally wrong...Paul
