XGRASS illegal help data error

The solution for your problem is probably one of the solutiopn to
xgrass on HP 9000 machines. All you have to do is that you should
get into the $(ETC)/xclip directory and remove or comment out all
the lines that contain helpwidgetref:, I did this for all the files with
a simple script.

for i in *
do
  cp $i /tmp/xclip.tmp
  awk -f":" '{if($1 != "helpwidgetref") print $0}' /tmp/xclip.tmp > $i
eieo
done

Be careful here. Make a back up of the xclip directory beofre you attempt to
do this.

Good luck
