Comment (by cgarzon):

 We edited ~/.bash_profile and ~/.profile, and uninstalled phyton 3.6. Now
 GRASS is using python 2.7 and the error persists. We ran locale and the
 settings are changed:

 android-db3310249737a4f2:~ Gabriela$ locale

 LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"

 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"

 LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"

 LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"

 LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

 LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

 We had to open a new mac user account and on this account GRASS GIS has
 the same error but does open. The text we are getting is the following:

  /usr/bin/env -i HOME=/Users/Gabriela
 PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/etc:/usr/lib
 /Applications/GRASS-7.4.1.app/Contents/MacOS/Grass.sh

 ERROR: Error in GUI startup. See messages above (if any) and if necessary,
 please report this error to the GRASS developers.

 On systems with package manager, make sure you have the right GUI package,
 probably named grass-gui, installed.

 To run GRASS GIS in text mode use the -text flag.
