[GRASS-user] GUI of grass6.2 fails to start in puppy linux

[Hillel]

Hi all:

I want to learn grass gis and recently I installed
grass-6.2 in puppy linux almost succesfully.  I have
also downloaded the spearfish dataset.  However after
selecting user1 from the spearfish dataset the GUI
didn't  start, it just flashes for a while (displaying
an old map-welcome screen i guess for 1 second) and
it's gone.  The following error is displayed in the
terminal:

Mapset <user1> in Location <spearfish60>
GRASS-GRID > Error in startup script: can't read
"parts(n)": no such variable
    while executing
"MapCanvas::zoom_new $mon $parts(n) $parts(s)
$parts(e)  $parts(w) $parts(nsres) $parts(ewres)"
    (procedure "MapCanvas::zoom_gregion" line 11)
    invoked from within
"MapCanvas::zoom_gregion $mon"
    (procedure "MapCanvas::create" line 40)
    invoked from within
"MapCanvas::create"
    (procedure "Gm::startmon" line 11)
    invoked from within
"Gm::startmon"
    (procedure "Gm::create" line 69)
    invoked from within
"Gm::create"
    (procedure "main" line 30)
    invoked from within
"main $argc $argv"
    (file "/usr/local/grass-6.2.0/etc/gm/gm.tcl" line
521)

Kindly explain what this error means? Please help me
solve the problem.  Could this be due to the OS i'm
using?  Puppy linux is a live-CD that uses the ramdisk
to run, my computer has windows xp installed in the
hard disk, i'm using 512mb of ram and 1 gb linux swap
partition.  I've installed and run succesfully other
programs like gimp, qcad, and inkscape in puppy linux
but grass fails.  Thanks a lot.
