I used to have growlnotify somewhere on my MAC. I recently upgraded it to Mavericks and find that growlnotify is no longer in /usr/local/bin/ (not
sure whether this is the real cause; have not used growlnotify for
someday).

It is normally in /usr/local/bin/

I tried to download the pkg from official website, but only found something
in /Library/PreferencePanes/

the growlnotify from GrowlNotify-2.1.zip does not work.

http://growl.cachefly.net/GrowlNotify-2.1.zip will install to /usr/local/bin/ Anything in /Library/PreferencePanes/ is related to the _old_ Growl.

Which brings me to the next point: just to check, are you using the Growl from the Mac App Store? That's the one you need for Mavericks. It should be installed in /Applications/

If you have Growl in /Library/PreferencePanes/ you should run the uninstaller from http://growl.googlecode.com/files/Uninstall%20Growl.zip


The error is as
follows:

$./growlnotify

Enter a notification description, followed by newline, followed by Ctrl-D
(End of File). To cancel, press Ctrl-C.

Is the Growl.app running? To check, you can run:

        pgrep Growl

if you get a number, Growl is running. If not, Growl is not running. You may need to restart Growl.app after installing `growlnotify` to get it to "Register". You should see it in Growl's preferences, as shown here:

(note that the icon associated with `growlnotify` may be different)

If you have the right Growl.app (not preferences) and have Growl running and `growlnotify` is registered with Growl, then it _should_ work.

        growlnotify -a Finder -m "test 123" "hello world"
