[GRASS-user] help in using GRASS for Mac

[Severino Salmo]

Dear GRASS users,
I am interested to use GRASS in my MacBookPro but unfortunately constrained on its installation. I downloaded the software yesterday but I am having a hard time to use it. I also already downloaded the sample data to run the tutorial but unfortunately I cant use the software. The following error below was manifested.
Any assistance from this users list will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
Regards,
Sev
