I was worried that there might be 2 problems compounded here, but no longer think so.
Yesterday, I compiled under Snow Leopard and today was able to test on Lion. It runs fine on my Lion machine AFTER manually editing .grassrc6 and adding LANG: en_US.UTF-8 The fact that this is needed is a problem in itself, but does provide a workaround but seemingly only to a US English machine. A computer with Spanish (or other?) localization will still bomb. This is ironic, of course, since the changes were designed to improve multi-lingual capabilities of GRASS. But this is what happens with such a complex system (a great, if annoying, example of CAS emergent effects). William Kyngesburye has a promising diagnosis that the issue lies with LC_CTYPE. Somehow, this is set incorrectly for your and Carlos' machine with a "UTF-8" designation instead of a "UTF8" designation. But I don't know how it got set badly or how to change it to test this hypothesis. Hopefully others can suggest the beginnings of a solution to test.
