[GRASS-user] grass 6.3 install problem... can't get past splash screen on centos

[Ken Kwasnicki]

hi all,
i've now had this problem on a couple centos 5.1 installations. i first 
build and install from source: fftw, proj4, and gdal,  make sure i have 
all the tcl/tk devel libraries, then install grass 6.3 from source which 
compiles without errors but when i go to run it i can select a location 
(spearfish->permanent), then the Output window comes up with the 
medieval map splash screen which never goes away and none of the other 
windows appear.   i have to do a kill -9 on the "wish" process to get 
rid of the output window and splash screen.

i've successfully installed grass63 on a couple other systems, one of 
which was also centos 5.1, but i don't know what i've done differently 
this time.   and there are no error messages being displayed.
appreciate any thoughts on why this is happening?
thanks,
ken
