2) echo $DISPLAY - returns nothing. In the bash shell, you just get an empty line.

Are you sure this when GRASS is running - that is, in the Terminal window that is started by GRASS? In a new/blank Terminal window this may well be unset.

Are you are using my build? Yes, DISPLAY is set there, IF it is not set already.

With GRASS running, what does this say:

echo $DISPLAY

It should be :0.0

If you have something else setting DISPLAY - maybe in .bash_profile, .bashrc, .bash_login or .profile (I think that's all of them) - the GRASS startup script won't set it.
