You need to learn and become very comfortable with installing software
packages on your system. On RedHat systems you use the rpm command to
install and uninstall packages. You need to insert your RedHat
installation CD and type *something like*:

# mount /cdrom
# rpm -Uvh /cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/wish*.rpm

Also read the rpm manual: "man rpm"

Hi,
first try t set the GRASS_WISH enviromental variable
usually the wish is in /usr/bin
All this provided that u have installed the tcltk rpms. Tcl/Tk is needed for the GUI.
So, check your /usr/bin and usr/local/bin.If u find the "wish", set the above variable. If uoy find something like wish8.4 set a link.
