[GRASS-dev] wish error on MacOSX with GRASS+X tunneled from a Linux Box

[Hamish]

Hi,

I am trying to run GRASS on a mini-Mac OSX system but getting a wish
error. The binary is on a Linux system, I am logging in and tunneling X
over a ssh connection.   (1.5 week old 6.1 CVS) 
It works fine if called from another Linux system.


Start X11 in OSX, open a X11 terminal.

mac:$ ssh -X user at linuxbox

linux:$ xeyes
[works as expected]


linux:$ grass61

I get an message that "wish isn't working, check GRASS_WISH" and it puts
me through to the text startup screen. esc,enter & I'm in.

GRASS 6.1> echo $GRASS_WISH
wish

GRASS 6.1> which wish
/usr/bin/wish

GRASS 6.1> ls -l `which wish`
/usr/bin/wish -> /usr/bin/wish8.4

GRASS 6.1> /usr/bin/wish8.4
X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
  Atom id in failed request:  0xb5
  Serial number of failed request:  12
  Current serial number in output stream:  15


(same with /usr/bin/wish8.3)

And as expected gis.m, etc don't work.

d.mon x0, d.rast do work.
