David/Wes,

   This has turned out to be both more complex (the build fails on the same
file each time, yet modifying each .py file in that subdirectory makes no
difference) and more simple (the code is supposed to check for the wxPython
version in only one place.

   However, while that version-checking function incorporates a case
statement which includes versions > 2.10, it's apparently confused by seeing
two installed versions meeting that criterion. There is an environment
variable, GRASS_WXVERSION, which I can set when I figure in whose
environment it belongs. Doesn't do squat in ~/.bash_profile.

   Still a work in progress.

Thanks,

Rich
