can you post the exact error message?

If "wish" itself doesn't exist you can set GRASS to look for it under
another name with GRASS_WISH. see
 http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass61/manuals/html61_user/variables.html#enviro


to set a custom "wish" put this line in ~/.grass.bashrc

export GRASS_WISH=/usr/bin/wish8.4



The "wish" program is needed to generate Tcl/Tk GUI windows.
see http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/UserCmd/wish.htm
