Bug#776349: grass-gui: wx gui tries to load images from wrong location

[Ambrose Andrews]

Package: grass-gui
Version: 6.4.4-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

It is probably a long time since I used GRASS on Jessie...  recently I launched
it for the first time since the last upload.

I Tried to start GRASS from the gnome menu and from a terminal.  (first
deleting/moving my .grassrc6)

The gui wizard responded with some pop-up errors from gui such as:
"can't open file '/usr/lib/grass64/etc/gui/images/startup_banner.gif' (error 2:
No such file or directory)"

(apparently such a file does exist at
/usr/share/grass64/etc/gui/images/startup_banner.gif i.e. under /usr/share, not
/usr/lib)

see below python traceback from terminal attempt:

WELCOME TO GRASS              Version 6.4.4         2014

   1) Have at your side all available GRASS GIS tutorials

   2) When working on your location, the following materials
      are extremely useful:
      - A topographic map of your area
      - Current catalog of available computer maps

   3) Check the GRASS GIS web pages for supporting mailing lists and more:
      http://grass.osgeo.org

the errors popping up in the wx gui offered me the option to save to a log:
