[GRASS-dev] New xterm wrapper not working on Mac build

[Michael Barton]

I just discovered that the xterm wrapper script does not work for Willaim
Kyngesburye¹s framework build binaries for the Mac, and won¹t work for
Lorenzo¹s binaries either in some circumstances.

The issue is that the Mac BASH terminal is used as the GRASS terminal rather
than an xterm. The Mac terminal is much easier to use. But when
grass-xterm-wrapper.sh is run from the BASH terminal, it doesn¹t realize
that x is running and returns a command not found error. This is not a
problem when an xterm is launched from TclTk, which IS running in X-windows.

Solutions?
