Make sure you install the frameworks as stated in the readme and on the download page.

[hamish]

assume the trouble was that the frameworks packages were not installed.

I am seeing this as well, with some slight differences. It appears that GRASS is referring to a specific version of UnixImageIO, which is different than what the framework installer (GDAL Complete 1.9) installed.

Yes, I noticed this recently. It is still not really a GRASS bug, but a dependency packaging problem. When I rebuilt everything for the new UnixImageIO, I forgot wxpython. Either wait for a new installer, or install Barton's package.

Note: do not try to fix UnixImageIO with a symlink for the D version, D and E versions are incompatible.
