Dear Grass users,
recently I installed GRASS 7.0.0 on ubuntu 14.04 (32 bits). When I tried to open by typing grass70 command I get the following error message: python: can’t open file ‘/usr/lib/grass70/gui/wxpython/gis_set.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Received EXIT message from GUI.
GRASS is not started. Bye
I also have version 6.4.3 pefectly working from before, but I would like to migrate to Grass 70 as soon as posible. Any suggestions how to solve this issue?
thanks in advance…

can you please describe how did you installed GRASS GIS? Compiled yourself? Is the gis_set.py file present somewhere?

Hi,

since you are using Ubuntu 14.04 I might recommend this script to
install the GRASS 7.0nightly package and sample dataset:

https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_grass7.sh

Some minor adjustments would be needed, but if you follow it line
by line, set your account name, and ignore the "Desktop GIS" directory
stuff I think it will be ok. It puts the data in /usr/local/share/grass,
you may wish to just put it in your home directory.

It sets things up so that you can run in parallel with GRASS 6.4
packages, i.e. have both versions installed at the same time. (GRASS
6.4.4 is now available for 14.04 in the UbuntuGIS ppa)

One thing currently broken in there is the wxGUI's parsing of g.version
output, so the splash screen comes back as "Version ?", but that's just
cosmetic.

regards,
Hamish

(make sure the grass70-gui package is installed too)

Hi Vaclav, Thank for you quick reply.

can you please describe how did you installed GRASS GIS? Compiled

yourself?

Yes, I compiled Grass70 following partly the instructions give in this
official site: http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install

Is the gis_set.py file present somewhere?

Apparently not. I use the following command dpkg -l | grep gis_set.py,
but without results. Do you other manner t find out if the gis_set.py
in present? I would appreciate it.

Hi Hamish,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to look trough my problem with the
grass70 installation. Your script did the trick. I have grass70 up and
running, together with grass 64.
Thanks a lot
best regards.
