All,
A few days ago, I was able to double click on the GRASS icon and have the GUI appear. Today, I logged on and when I double click on the icon, just a terminal shell comes up. I have to type in a script to get the GUI to appear. Can anyone give me guidance as to what may have happened and how to repair it?
Thx,
Bob

Hi Bob,
What OS are you working from? I use OS X, but any of the unixes will have a .grassrc6 (assuming GRASS 6… not much detail in your email) in your home directory. You can manually edit this so the GRASS_GUI item reflects your preference. If GRASS 6.4, it can be either ‘tcltk’ or ‘wxpython’.
Cheers,
John

run g.gui and use the -u flag to make your selection stick.
or when you start grass from the command line do one of
grass64 -text
grass64 -tcltk
grass64 -wxpython
and it will automatically reset the default upon clean exit.
see also the g.gisenv setting & main man page.
