solution for GRASS GIS 6.4.3 on linux failed to open the gui

GRASS GIS 6.4.3  on linux have errors as follows:
GRASS 6.4.3 (nc_spm_08):~/softgrass/grass/bin > g.gui gui=wxpython

ImportError: Numeric,numarray or NumPy not found. 

            This module requires the Numeric/numarray or NumPy module,
            which could not be imported.  It probably is not installed

Solution:

When I checked in Python, I had numpy installed, so that wasn’t the issue.
I couldn’t find anything useful online to help me fix it but then I thought, it’s Python and it’s open source. Let’s have a hack!
I opened the following file (if I was more leet I would have used vim or nano or something):
/home/qq/softgrass/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/lib/plot.py

I then went to line 117 and added the first three linesshown in the code block below, remembering to alter all the indents etc:

try:
    import numpy as _Numeric
except:
    try:
    import numpy.oldnumeric as _Numeric
    except:
        try:
            import numarray as _Numeric #if numarray is used it is renamed Numeric
        except:
            try:
                import Numeric as _Numeric
            except:
                msg= """

This module requires the Numeric/numarray or NumPy module, 

which could not be imported. It probably is not installed

(it's not part of the standard Python distribution). See the
Numeric Python site (http://numpy.scipy.org) for information on

                raise ImportError, "Numeric,numarray or NumPy not found. \n" + msg
 

I then saved the file and restarted GRASS and it all (seems) to be running smoothly and as it should do.
