I get the error message below when attempting to start tcltkgrass in cygwin. Does anyone have an idea to resolve this error? Thanks.

Are you using the GRASS specific Tcl/Tk from:
http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/wingrass_xserver/
or Cygwin Tcl/Tk? I think the GRASS specific Tcl/Tk is required.

Are you using a Unix/X11 version of Tcl/Tk (e.g. the xtcltk package
from the GRASS web site), or are you using Cygwin's Tcl/Tk? The latter
won't work.

Oh, there isn't anything GRASS-specific about the xtcltk package on
the GRASS site. It's just the stock Tcl/Tk source code, compiled on
Cygwin for Unix. It should be capable of running anything which was
written for the Unix version of Tcl/Tk.
Unlike Cygwin's Tcl/Tk package, which is some form of bastardised
hybrid of the Unix and Windows versions of Tcl/Tk, and which isn't
compatible with either the Unix or Windows versions of Tcl/Tk. It's
only useful if you're willing to write code specifically for the
Cygwin version of Tcl/Tk.
This was probably done so that Cygwin Tcl/Tk programs will
interoperate reasonably with native Windows programs. However,
tcltkgrass isn't a Cygwin Tcl/Tk program, it's a Unix Tcl/Tk program.
BTW, if the Unix-specific features were removed from tcltkgrass, you
would probably be able to just use the native Windows version of
Tcl/Tk rather than the Cygwin version.
