[GRASS-user] wxpython-GUI fails in grass6.3

GRASS GRASS user

What it sounds like is a mismatch between wxPython and Python. If you change
Python versions, make sure you have the correct wxPython version to go along
with it.

I've downloaded William's Leo binary, the readme states "The
wxPython GUI makes use of the system MacPython 2.5 and wxPython
2.8.4. There is no need to install these", but my system asked for
a higher python version.

How did it ask for a newer version? Really, you don't need to install
a newer one.

I've updated wtih
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.2/python-2.5.2-macosx.dmg
and
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.7.1-uni
versal-py2.5.dmg
When starting a new grass instance it refuses wxpython w/o any
message, so I try
g.gui wxpython
and get

Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

Now you are working with the python.org python. You must install and
run the Tiger GRASS binary, which is built to use that. Really, the
bulk of the GUI doesn't care and should run, it's just the digitizer
that's tied to the exact wxPython build.

Looks like it might be a Python bug? Can you run Python by itself?
