[GRASS-user] Compiling GRASS GIS on Debian Buster

Hi,
since I upgraded my Debian system to version 10 (buster), I'm not able
to get GRASS working.

I pulled the latest version from Git main source code repository. The
usual compilation process runs apparently fine. When launching grass77
from a terminal, the startup screen appears, and lets me pick
location/mapset, but when starting GRASS session, the gui can't start.
It throws the following error message:

   wxnviz.py: This module requires the NumPy module, which could not be
   imported. It probably is not installed [...]

whereas NumPy is properly installed:

   pip list | grep numpy
returns:
   numpy 1.12.1

Has anyone experienced such issue?

Thank you,
Vincent.

My self-reply:

sometimes python pip management tool can look tricky to amateurs like
me: a basic "pip install numpy" told me numpy was already installed.
For an effective upgrade of any package one should rather type:

python -m pip install --upgrade SomePackage

(source: python 2.7.16 doc)

Then GRASS starts and runs like a charm!
Hope this helps folks who meet the same issue.

Bye,
Vincent.
