[GRASS-user] Mac OS X startup problem

[Kirk Wythers]

Mark,

Not sure which binary you installed. Great instructions can be found  
here:

http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/unixport/

Not not forget to install Williams "frameworks" before you run either  
GRASS installers (62. or 6.3). My advice is trash your old binary,  
install the frameworks then reinstall.

Good luck,

Kirk
