Markus, The material at the wiki (url below) did not work for me, but it
DID provide the clues I needed to get things to work. I can't speak for
other Arch linux users, but I don't have sudo configured and just su to
root when necessary. So, the posted script failed when I didn't have
permission to sudo ln -s. In addition, since I don't sudo, I don't
quite understand the path being constructed. $HOME for someone using
sudo is presumably their home directory (not root), and creating
$HOME/usr/bin seems like an odd idea to me. so,
su
ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python
ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7-config /usr/bin/python-config
exit
worked. That means that from now on python2 is the default, as opposed
to python3, but I'm fine with that. Then, I don't have all the
libraries required by the config command (notably liblas, maybe more),
so the config command needed to be edited for me, and there were several
libraries I didn't include in addition to freetype. Others may have
different needs and experiences.
Again, I didn't sudo, but
make
su
make install
exit
worked of course. Finally, I now have /usr/bin/grass70 as GRASS-7.0.4
and /usr/local/bin/grass70 as GRASS-7.0.5. /usr/bin precedes
/us/local/bin so I am at present entering /usr/local/bin/grass70 to
start GRASS-7.0.5. I think
mv /usr/bih/grass70 /usr/bin/grass704
mv /usr/local/bin/grass70 /usr/bin/grass705
might be my solution to have both available.
Thanks, Dave
P.S. the subject on this rthread should probably have been switched to
Arch linux GRASS build, but I left it alone to allow tracking

Hi Markus,
Given your kind offer I elected to try and compile GRASS again. This
time I was successful (after a few false starts). The primary problem was
python confusion, where arch linux assumes python3 as the default, and I had
not done the symbolic links correctly to redicrect to python2. After that
./configure \
--without-freetype \
--with-postgress \
--with-readline
worked successfully. I'm now testing GRASS-7.0.5.
Glad you solved it! Please verify if all here is ok:

Best,
