[GRASSLIST:3046] Re: Problems with TclTk Aqua

[Nick Cahill]

The binaries supplied by Lorenzo Moretti already have the proper 
version of tcl/tk. You just have to install Apple's X11 -- which has 
the Aqua interface, by the way, for whatever that's worth - rather than 
TclTKAquaBi-8.4.5. Lorenzo's work is terrific, by the way -- is there 
any way that the GRASS team could see their way to hosting his binaries 
on one or more of the official GRASS servers? They're hard to get a 
hold of because his server is so overloaded.
