g.gui.rlisetup: cannot create the configuration file

[veroandreo]

When hitting the "Create" button in the G7:g.gui.rlisetup dialog, I get the following error in the GUI console:

I use freshly compiled trunk.

Not a solution to the bug, but a colleague of mine wrote a Python function to create the setup files non-interactively from within a script: ​https://github.com/ANAGEO/GRASSStuff/blob/master/SpatialMetrics_LandscapeMetrics/create_rli_configfile.py. Free for reuse.

G7:g.gui.rlisetup works fine in grass74 relbranch, so I created it there (but I Sohad further errors in r.li.* modules, see #3676). So, the config file issue seems to be a problem in trunk only. Maybe also 76, this latter I have not tried, though.

wxGUI: fix #3675

Thanks!

Milestone is 7.6.0, any backport needed?

[veroandreo]

In 7.6 relbranch it works fine, it was only on trunk. I changed milestone for proper record.
