[GRASS-user] Can I just get rid of Wish?

[William Kyngesburye]

When you say X11, I assume you mean no GUI, or maybe the GUI in X11?   
Note, there are 2 different GUIs now, and on OSX, 2 variations of one:

TclTk X11 - works with an X11 TclTk 8.4+.  This requires you to  
compile and install your own TclTk.  I used to include one in the  
application, but not since we got it working with Aqua

TclTk Aqua - as the warning implies, this needs TclTk 8.5+.  The  
readme says where to find an installer.  This one is preferred.

wxPython.  This is included in the application.

Note 1: the TclTk NVIZ is built to use TclTk Aqua 8.5 and won't run  
with 8.4 of any form.

Note 2: the application startup tries to locate TclTk in some default  
locations and of forms in the following order:

TclTk 8.5 Aqua
TclTk 8.5 X11
TclTk 8.4 X11


Anyways, after GRASS starts and Wish fails, type in the Terminal:

g.gisenv set=GRASS_GUI=text

Thereafter GRASS won't try to start the TclTk GUI.
