[GRASS5] fink'ing grass on darwin/osx - $env(TCLTKGRASSBASE) error

hello all:

i decided to try my hand at compiling the grass5pre5 source within the 
fink structure (a great tool for os x / darwin users to get unix 
packages; see <http://fink.sourceforge.net/>).  since fink has its own 
directory (/sw) i decided to put grass5 there (/sw/grass5) with the 
following:

sudo ./configure --prefix=/sw --with-includes=/sw/include --with-
libs=/sw/lib --with-tiff-includes=/sw/include --with-tiff-libs=/sw/lib 
--with-tcltk-includes=/sw/include --with-tcltk-libs=/sw/lib/tcl8.3 
--with-gd-includes=/sw/include --with-opengl-includes=/usr/X11R6/include 
--with-fftw-includes=/sw/include --without-odbc  --without-postgres

aside from the compilation errors below, this worked.  i didn't include 
odbc or postgres, as they're not (yet) in the stable tree of fink; i'll 
add dbm, motif, freetype, and readline next ./configure, as i didn't 
have them fink'ed yet.  g77 is also available via fink.  as you can see, 
i've pointed configure to the fink includes and libs, tcltk included.

so my configuration is like this:

GRASS is now configured for powerpc-apple-darwin5.5

only a couple errors:

GRASS GIS compilation log

DONE generating GRASS GIS binary code

however, when i try to fire up tcltkgrass&, i get an error that 
$env(TCLTKGRASSBASE) isn't set, so i check my ~/.grassrc5 and its not 
there.  what is this env variable looking for?  can i just point it to 
the appropriate place via my ~/.grassrc5 file?  i already tried the 
old ' source /etc/csh.cshrc /etc/csh.login ' and it didn't work.

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

take care,
andy a.

p.s. since i'm a digest lister, please write directly or cc me.
