Many thanks to all who responded. Installing TclTk 8.5 put an end to the prior problem.
Unfortunately, I then got Nick's problem -- impossible to resize a window, plus some freezes. So I tried something evidently more severe than I had realized -- resetting GRASS_GUI to wxPtyhon. I probably did this with the g.gisenv command, although I'm not sure. Anyway, when I attempt to launch I now get ERROR: Invalid user interface specified - <wxPython>. Use the --help option to see valid interface names. logout [Process completed] The terminal window displaying that message accepts no further input. I can't figure out how to use that --help option, or how to change GRASS_GUI without being able to start GRASS. I reinstalled to no avail. How do I fix this? And then, how can set it up for wxPython?
