Hi folks, 

I recently downloaded the GRASS 5.3 and 5.7 binaries for OS X.  I must 
say that I am impressed by how they're shaping up.  I am having one 
problem.  I also installed TclTkAquaBi-8.4.5.  Afterwards, when I launch 
GRASS 5.3, the Wish Shell crashes.  When I try the tlctkgrass& I get the 
following message:

 Error in startup script: window name "loading" already exists in parent
    while executing
"label .loading -text {Loading ...}"
    (file "/Applications/Grass/grass53/tcltkgrass/main/gui.tcl" line 1881)
    invoked from within
"source $env(TCLTKGRASSBASE)/main/gui.tcl"
    invoked from within
"if [catch {source $env(TCLTKGRASSBASE)/main/gui.tcl}] {
    set env(TCLTKGRASSBASE) $env(GISBASE)/tcltkgrass
    source $env(TCLTKGRASSBASE)/main/gui...."
    (file "/Applications/Grass/grass53/bin/tcltkgrass" line 26)

GRASS 5.7, on the other hand, will launch, but when I try to display a 
map I get:

Error:  channel "console1" wasn't open for writing

Then the buttons OK Skip Message and Details.

Does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it?

Sincerely

Kurt Springs
