[GRASS-user] grass 6.2 won't open gui on macOSX

[William Kyngesburye]

There is a problem with OSSIM and my frameworks.  OSSIM has its own  
version of a GDAL framework which is incompatible with mine.  I did  
add a little compatibility bit in mine so I *think* it should work  
with OSSIM. Until we work out a solution, reinstall just my GDAL  
framework after installing OSSIM.  I'm also considering my own binary  
of OSSIM based on my frameworks.

For the $parts error, I it's happened before and it was improperly  
installed frameworks - before I used installers it was easy to mess  
that up.

If reinstalling the frameworks (not just GRASS) doesn't help,  
Hamish's suggestion is a good start to figuring out the source of the  
problem, we need to see a dyld error.  But that could be hard at  
startup.

The first place to try is look at Console.app - the system and  
console logs might have something.
