[GRASS-user] grass 6.2 won't open gui on macOSX

[Michael Perdue]

Hi Chris,

I had the same problem after installing OSSIM and in my case it  
turned out to be because my gdal installation was modified. Can't  
tell you how or why as I'm still pretty green when it comes to mac  
OSX, but the frameworks seem to be really sensitive and even small  
changes will fubar things. If you have the same issue I had then  
you'll see a bunch of missing dylib errors when you try running a  
gdal command (you can try gdalinfo --formats). In my case I trashed  
all my frameworks and reinstalled them from scratch which solved my  
problem. Kind of a "bull in a china shop" approach, but it worked.  
Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I can offer you a more elegant  
solution.

cheers,

Mike
