[GRASS-user] Re: grass-user Digest, Vol 24, Issue 39

If your *.py files do not execute, I wonder if you have Python and wxPython
installed. You need to install Python 2.4 or higher and wxPython 2.8.1.1 or
higher. If installing for the first time or upgrading from Python 2.3 or
less, I recommend just getting the current version of both--2.5.2 for Python
and 2.8.7 for wxPython.

Hi,

2008/4/18, Lars Forseth <lars.forseth@bluezone.no>:

Usually I have compiled GRASS63 from source. This evening I did likewise,
and
activated python etc to see if the new GUI could start. See config string at
the end of the post. There was an error; in vdigit. Tried to run make in
that

the configure switch '--with-python' and '--with-widgets' are related
only to small part of wxGUI -- vector digitizer. The error in vdigit
is probably related to missing 'libgdi' link, see gui/wxpython/README.
But it is not related to wxGUI itself, wxGUI will work without
compiled digitizer.

dir; no luck - but I thought this were not a prerequisite for running
wxpython GUI in GRASS?

When you start GRASS with gui-related switch and GUI don't start for
whatever reasons you should see error message, in the result GRASS
switch to the text mode, e.g.

Cleaning up temporary files ...
Starting GRASS ...
ERROR: Requested version of wxPython not found. wxPython >= 2.8.1.1 is
required. Detailed information in README file.
Error in GUI startup. If necessary, please
report this error to the GRASS developers.
Switching to text mode now.
Hit RETURN to continue...

So I tried to run "grass63 -wxpython". The terminal welcome screen comes up;
but no GUI! No error messages . Tried to restart GUI with g.gui wxpython;

I am not able to reproduce this behaviour...

same shit; nothing happens; literaly nothing; no errors, nada, it just waits
for a second, then nothing. (The tcltk GUI runs - I have checked that!)

well, based on this information it is hard to tell/or better to fix it...

Looking at '/usr/local/grass-6.3.0RC6/gui/wxpython' I notice that the .py
files are not executable. So I changed their permissions to executable; but

python files do not need to be executable, try to start GUI directly

cd $GISBASE/etc/wxpython
python wxgui.py

still no luck! Nothing happens when I run g.gui wxpython! (I tried this
because for other scripts this has been a problem from time to time; there
is
also sometimes missing binaries in the bin dir; witch I then have to copy
from their directories were they are compiled).
