This message is symptomatic of using a MacOSX version of Tcl/Tk
instead of a Unix/X11 version.

Try setting GRASS_WISH explicitly before starting GRASS, e.g.

	GRASS_WISH=/usr/bin/wish
	export GRASS_WISH
	grass57

AFAICT, it appears that it's either a bug in the MacOSX Tcl/Tk, or at
least an incompatibility (e.g. it doesn't like being run from an
xterm).
