Cannot open vector for editing in digitize toolbar in GRASS 7.0

[PvB]

When opening the vector digitizing toolbar I can not select a vector layer for editing. The vector layer is open (existing or just newly created) in the layer manager, and is shown in the drop down box in the digitizing toolbar, but selecting it doesn't do anything.

Check out console output and You will see nice error message:

In my case there is no output whatsoever in the console. Is there another way to get useful output?

wxGUI vector digitizer waits for complete rewrite to Python (from C++), please stay tuned.

OK, so this also is true for GRASS 7.0? I see that in 6.4 the whole module is removed, but in GRASS 7.0 the module is there (well, one can open the menu bar).

Replying to PvB:

not removed, just disabled in GRASS 6.4. You can compile it manually

cd gui/wxpython/vdigit
make

Ah, ok, thanks. I am most concerned with getting it to work in GRASS 7 though. Just out of curiosity I tried your suggestion, but for grass 7. The only output that it gives me is

"make: Nothing to be done for `first'".

This seems to be the same or similar as what was reported here: ​http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/No-module-named-grass7-wxvdigit-td3102096.html.

I think that the original bug has been fixed. Please could you try recent version from SVN?
