Hi folks,
I recently downloaded the GRASS 5.3 and 5.7 binaries for OS X. I must say that I am impressed by how they're shaping up. I am having one problem. I also installed TclTkAquaBi-8.4.5. Afterwards, when I launch GRASS 5.3, the Wish Shell crashes. When I try the tlctkgrass& I get the following message:
Error in startup script: window name "loading" already exists in parent
while executing
"label .loading -text {Loading ...}"
(file "/Applications/Grass/grass53/tcltkgrass/main/gui.tcl" line 1881)
invoked from within
"source $env(TCLTKGRASSBASE)/main/gui.tcl"
invoked from within
"if [catch {source $env(TCLTKGRASSBASE)/main/gui.tcl}] {
set env(TCLTKGRASSBASE) $env(GISBASE)/tcltkgrass
source $env(TCLTKGRASSBASE)/main/gui...."
(file "/Applications/Grass/grass53/bin/tcltkgrass" line 26)
GRASS 5.7, on the other hand, will launch, but when I try to display a map I get:
Error: channel "console1" wasn't open for writing
Then the buttons OK Skip Message and Details.
Does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it?
Sincerely
Kurt Springs

tcltkgrass currently requires a Unix/X11 version of Tcl/Tk; it won't
work with the native MacOSX/Aqua version.
GRASS 5.7, on the other hand, will launch, but when I try to display a
map I get:

That error is a known symptom of running tcltkgrass with the Aqua
version of Tcl/Tk.

Install a Unix/X11 version of Tcl/Tk. This can be obtained via fink,
although ISTR that pre-compiled binaries are available (I don't recall
where from, though; hopefully someone else can provide a link).

Kurt,
These might be want you need:
http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/8.4.5/tar/
Look about two thirds down the page for,
Tcl_X11-8.4.5.tar.gz
Tk_X11-8.4.5.tar.gz
I thought there were OSX package installers for X11 versions of Tcl/Tk 8.4.5, but I can't find any links. Sorry.
Jeff
The binaries supplied by Lorenzo Moretti already have the proper version of tcl/tk. You just have to install Apple's X11 -- which has the Aqua interface, by the way, for whatever that's worth - rather than TclTKAquaBi-8.4.5. Lorenzo's work is terrific, by the way -- is there any way that the GRASS team could see their way to hosting his binaries on one or more of the official GRASS servers? They're hard to get a hold of because his server is so overloaded.

I'd be willing to host them at the University of Georgia, if that would be helpful.

At time these binaries consume more than 150MB. Once compiled
with shared libraries the size should be significantly smaller
and we could host them.
Note that the GRASS web site should always fit on a CDROM,
at time we are at 650MB.
