Greetings all,
I recently installed Grass 6.3.0-3-Tig on my mac running Tiger, after updating all necessary frameworks listed by William Kyngesburye. Grass seems to start normally (though with lots of text at startup in the terminal window, included at the end of this email), and it opens the standard startup screen. I click Enter Grass, it spins a bit, then this error in an X11 window: "Error setting region (Problem with g.region?): child killed: trace trap", folled by this text in the terminal window after I click the 'ok' button on the error window: GRASS 6.3.0 (Brandon):~ > Error in startup script: can't read "parts(w)": no such variable

Not sure about this part, I don't know much about the GUI internals.

This occurs with multiple locations that have different projections, bounds, etc.

I still have my older version, so I'm not in a pinch, but it would be nice to get the newest version working and I'm lost on where to start.

Does a d.mon (without the GUI) work to display anything?

Thanks much, and here is the text from startup (mentioned above) that appears in the terminal window before the location selection screen appears.

GRASS GUI should be tcltk

That noise is either from some 3rd-party AppleScript scripting addition you have installed, or from a system hack/extension (that LCC Scroll Enahncer mentioned, maybe?) that may be a bit old, or poorly programmed. It is probably not affecting GRASS (CLI programs), since AppleScript is only briefly used to start GRASS. But it may negatively affect X11 for the GUI...
