That was it. Thanks to Stu and yourself for that tip. Maybe you could put
this info (+ the fact that tcl/tk is included in the package) in the notes
on your download page ?

Now it works like a charm except for a crash of the GUI trying to run
v.surf.rst, but I still need to look into this in more detail.

Yes, I saw that. Will have to install 6.3 then. I was a bit afraid of
putting the professor in front of the "unstable" version. It's been very
stable for me in Debian, but I wasn't sure for Mac.

Thanks again to both of you for the prompt reply.
