I doubt it.

The error message implies that $line (a line from the ~/.tcltkgrass
file) contains an unmatched open brace. This suggests that the code
which writes ~/.tcltkgrass isn't doing it correctly.

Can you post your ~/.tcltkgrass file? That would provide some clues as
to the location of the error.

In the meantime, deleting or renaming your ~/.tcltkgrass file will
allow you to start tcltkgrass, although without any saved
configuration options.
