g.gui error on startup of March 24th 6.4.3 snapshot

[epatton]

I just installed a fresh version of the Grass 6.4.3svn March24th generic weekly snapshot. After typing 'grass64' on startup, I receive the following error after the Grass 6.4.3 splash screen:

The last Grass snapshot I was using, Feb18th, worked fine with no problems, and nothing in my system has changed in the meantime. Any help would be most appreciated.

I am getting a similar error. I installed GRASS 6.4.2 on a SLES 10 system with no problem. Now, I am attempting to install GRASS 6.4.2 on a RHEL 6 system, but am getting the following error upon startup.

The only difference I can identify is that I am using GCC 4.7.0 and that my wxPython installation is installed in a seperate site-packages location than the system version of Python 2.6.6. This seperate site-packages location has been added to the PYTHONPATH, and the initial launch page appears allowing me to select my Location and mapset. However, once the splash screen appears, this error is triggered. Any ideas what may be causing this?

I can use current 6.4.svn successfully on Fedora 17 and ScientificLinux 6.2. Can you please retry?

Assuming a sporadic mishap, the issue was never reported again. Closing, feel free to reopen if it occurs again.
