[GRASS-user] Error with wxpython GUI in RC6

Gustavo_Martinez1 · April 10, 2008, 8:19pm

Hi,

I've just compiled the GRASS63 RC6 in a Debian unstable amd64 machine. When I
try to run it I get the following message:

Starting GRASS ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/grass-6.3.0RC6/etc/wxpython/gis_set.py", line 31, in ?
    from gui_modules import globalvar
  File "/usr/local/grass-6.3.0RC6/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/globalvar.py", line
27, in ?
    import wx
ImportError: No module named wx
Error in GUI startup. If necessary, please
report this error to the GRASS developers.

The Tcltk GUI is working without problems. How can I fix this?
Thanks

Gustavo

well, you need to install wxPython to run wxPython-based GUI (wxPython

= 2.8.1 is required), see

http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk/gui/wxpython/README

Hi Martin,

I've checked and I have python-wxgtk2.8 installed. Also at the configure step
I use --with-python --with-wxwidgets and it lists wxpython as yes.

then wxPython is missing or you have installed wxPython for other
version of python on your system (e.g. python2.5) ?

that's strange, for Debian Sid (which I am also using) is default
python2.4 so wx packages should be installed for that version.

dpkg -L python-wxgtk2.8 | grep _core_

?

I think you might need python-wxgtk2.8-dev ?

well, it is mistery;-)

what about

$ pycentral showdefault

or better

$ pyversions -vd

You should get '2.4'

$ python

import sys

here should be '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode'

you need wxWidgets dev-related packages to compile vector digitizer
component, not to run wxGUI itself. There is no 'python-wxgtk2.8-dev'
in Debian distribution.

Finally I managed to run wxpython. I have wxpython 2.6 and 2.8 in the
computer. I've installed wxversion and then added the following lines to
/usr/local/grass-6.3.svn/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/globalvar.py

import wxversion
wxversion.select('2.8')

before

import wx

at line 28.
