I know exactly what your problem is, because I did the same thing when I
first installed GRASS and tcltkgrass.  =+)  Before you start tcltkgrass, you
must start Xwindow. E.g.:

grass4.2 (set your database, location, and mapset)
startx (start Xwindow)
tcltkgrass& (type this in an xterm window)

It doesn't matter whether you run grass4.2 before or after you start
Xwindow.

Good luck,

Hi,

  Yesterday I installed Tcltkgrass in GRASS 4.2. and tried to start
it with the command tcltkgrass & . It failed to start the GUI and
gave the following errors.

Application initialisation failed: no display name and no $display
environment variable

Error in startup script: invalid command name bind

while executing "bind balloon<enter> { set balloon Help (%W,after)
[after 400 {update Balloon Help%W}]}"
(procedure "BalloonInit" line2)
invoked from within
"BalloonInit"
(file "usr/local/grass42/tcltkgrass/main/gui.tcl  line 1307
invoked from within
"source $env (TCLTKGRASSBASE)/main/gui.tcl"
(file "usr/local/grass42/bin/tcltkgrass" line 17)

Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem?

Thank you for you reply.

Sincerely yours,

N. Kannan
