I found an old ref to this in .bashrc.  Commented it out.... started 
fresh.. Ran grass63.  Saw the same error. (hung splash screen)
Looked at GRASS* in my environment and saw a ref to 6.1 cvs again.  

My hunch is that I'm making a very simple mistake.  Would a re-install 
be easier than debugging this?

I apologize for the brevity of my comments.  They may be too terse to 
aid debugging.
