[GRASS-user] Grass Installation on mac - not working

[Ralf Schäfer]

Dear Erika,

did you try to first open the terminal and then start GRASS?

I had this error as well in the past - I think it disappeared after installing Xcode with the command line tools (note that many things are not installed automatically anymore with Xcode but you have to install the command line tools in the preferences menu)

Hope this helps
Ralf

> 3-) cairo
> 4-) PIL
> 5-) GRASS.app 6.4.2-5 (Snow Leopard)
> 6-) GRASS GDAL PlugIn
