"wish" is the Tcl/Tk interpreter.

alternate solutions:
1) ln -s /usr/local/bin/wish8.4 /usr/local/bin/wish

2) "grass62 --help" shows:
...
Environment variables relevant for startup:
  GRASS_TCLSH                    set tclsh shell name to override 'tclsh'
  GRASS_WISH                     set wish shell name to override 'wish'


so for bash/ash you could do this before starting grass62:
GRASS_WISH=wish8.4
export GRASS_WISH

To save time, you could put that in your ~/.grass.bashrc file.

For csh see the GRASS "variables" help page.
