Karsten,

When you have the Cygwin shell open try starting Grass (type grass5) then,
when you have the GRASS:~> prompt type startx .  this will open the xWindows
interface.  You can then type tcltkgrass at the GRASS promt in the xWindows
interface which should open the GRASS GUI.  Hopefully this works for you.

Subject: [winGRASS] problems with tcltkgrass


Hello,

My PC is running under Win2000 and I have some problems with tcltkgrass:

Definitively I installed the whole package of cygwin which I´ve got
from:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/
so also xFree86 und X11R6.4 should be came with it !

I am also sure that I installed the right package of GRASS with xserver
support and the spearfish dataset!

To start GRASS with tcltk I do the following:

start Cygwin as described under:
http://grass.baylor.edu/grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/cygwin_grass50bininstal
l.html

In the appearing terminal I type in:
"startxwin.bat"

After starting grass5 and the spearfishdataset
GRASS:~ >
appears regular.

But after calling up:
"tcltkgrass&"
the following error promt appears:


/usr/X11R16/bin/xwininfo: unable to open display"
usage: /usr/X11R16/bin/xwininfo [-options ...]

where options include:
-help    print this message
-display host dpy ....
....
...
..
.

while executing
"exec xwininfo [winfo id .w_g] | grep -i Corners"
   invoked from within
"scan [exec xwininfo -id [wininfo id .w_g] < grep -i Corners] {%*s %d%d}
dx dy"
   (file "/usr/local/grass5/tcltkgrass/main/gui.tcl" line 1887)
   invoked from within
"source $env(TCLTKGRASSBASE)/main/gui.tcl"
   (file "/usr/local/grass5/bin/tcltkgrass" line 21)


can anybody help ???

best regards
Karsten
