[GRASS-user] Problems with OpenGL when compiling grass-6.4.0 on Mac OS X 10.5.4

[Michael Barton]

I don't know about compiling, but several of your environmental  
settings will definitely cause problems if you try to run GRASS after  
compiling for TclTk 8.5 aqua. See below.

I would not even set this. If you do, use the version for TclTk 8.5  
in /usr/bin

This should be /usr/bin/wish8.5

If you are compiling with aqua, you don't need this.

You won't need this (i.e., leave it commented out)
