You should probably not be installing grass in /usr, this cause conflicts with packages installed though the package manager.
Why are you building grass anyway? The packaged version should run fine. I recommend you use the "ubuntugis-unstable" ppa to install qgis, grass and qgis-grass. BTW the correct way to uninstall is "sudo apt-get remove qgis" - autoremove deletes unnecessary packages Etienne On Thu, Aug 23, 2012 at 8:16 AM, Johannes Radinger <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I successfully compiled and installed GRASS6.4 with "make -j2 && sudo > checkinstall && sudo ldconfig" > which is usually working perfectly. > > But after installing QGIS I can't start GRASS6.4 itself anymore. > I try to launch it from the Terminal like: > > x@y:~$ grass64 > Cleaning up temporary files ... > Starting GRASS ... > python: can't open file '/usr/lib/grass64/etc/wxpython/gis_set.py': > [Errno 2] No such file or directory > Received EXIT message from GUI. > GRASS is not started.
