[GRASSLIST:3060] Problems with TclTk

[Gerry James]

I have recently downloaded the Grass 5.0.3 binaries and loaded them on a
Fedora Core server.  The text interface works well however when I type in
tcltkgrass& from within Grass I get the following error message:

/root/grass5/tcltkgrass: line 3: /wish: no such file or directory
/root/grass5/tcltkgrass: line 3: exec: /wish: cannot execute: no such file
or directory

Do I need to reinstall Tcl/Tk or is there another solution.  Can anyone
help.

Thanks
Gerry James

Hi Kurt

Tcltk for Acqua does not work with my GRASS OS X. My Grass use Tcltk
for Unix (included in Grass Libraries) . Im my OSX distribution there
is all: you just have to install Apple's X11.  Tcltk for Acqua DOES
NOT WORK with my Grass.

 From my grass 5.3 compiled with shared libraries I will have these size:

				now		with shared
GRASS GIS COMPLETE		158 MB		93 MB
grass53	single package		74 MB		11 MB


Bye
