Perhaps a stupid question on my part. Did you download the Snow
Leopard version of GRASS from William Kyngesburye's site? Did you
download all of his current frameworks?
Bundling is something you do when you compile it. Compiling is not
hard but you shouldn't need to do it. You can download versions that
should work on your system from my site too. It's not official but I
try to produce regular binaries.

Try the 6.4 binary.

Thanks Michael,
Dear Grass,
I am having a problem when I try to change the legend for my raster
file using to GUI. This happens even if I select a new legend to
add.
As soon as I select the raster map from the list Grass freezes for
several minutes.
Perhaps it is a problem with the raster file or the rules file,
however it runs fine when I run the command in the terminal. I would
like to do this in the GUI since I am not sure how to do all of my
map
resizing and saving as .tif from the command line.
Can someone please advise me on this?
I am using Grass 6.4 with standard GUI (not Python)
System is Mac OS 10.6.1
Thanks in advance for your time,
Michael
I see that you are using Snow Leopard, which has Python 2.5.1 and
2.6 on
it. It can also have a couple different wxpython versions. William
Kyngesburye has worked out special instructions for compiling on Snow
Leopard.
I installed GRASS on my new computer from this page a week or so ago.

If you are not using a recently compiled binary (after mid-
September), you
will have problems.
My guess is that this is related to ticket:
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/753. This is caused when you
compile
GRASS with more than one version of python on your Mac. In these
circumstances, there is an error in a display widget (PseudoDC).
The whole
issue is complicated but I can explain more if you are interested
in the
intricacies of the code.
As far as I can tell this seems to be a similar problem.
The fixes are to either
1) find the second version of Python and any vestiges of a second
wxpython
and delete them (sometimes harder than it seems, and especially
complicated
with Snow Leopard with needs 2 official Python versions), make
distclean,
and recompile. Or
Indeed! I have no idea how to find these files and I fear that I will
really mess something up here.
2) bundle wxpython with GRASS.
Unfortunately I don't know how to do this. On the page I listed above
it says that wxpython is included in the GRASS install. I didn't think
that I was using the Python GUI but perhaps I am misunderstanding
something here.
When I open GRASS I hit return to load the GUI I don't run "g.gui
wxpython".
Is there an idiots guide to on how to bundle wxpython?
The second option guarantees that you are running with the version of
wxpython that you compiled with and that all parts of GRASS are
using the
same wxpython. I'm recommending bundling wxpython with all Mac
binaries to
avoid this and other problems.
Thanks for this,
Michael
