Question:  We have recently installed grass 4.2.1 on our system, 
and I've been trying to get TclTkGrass up and running, with no luck. 
The starting menu bar is called up okay, but as soon as I try to 
run anything, I get the following error message:

	Error: Bad relief type "solid":
	must be flat, groove, raised,
	ridge or sunken.

Any suggestions? 



Answer:  Yes! This error message occurs when using the
 Tcl/TK 7.x libraries instead of 8.0 version.
 The Tcl/TK libraries are required to create all the buttons,
 menu bars etc. in the graphical user interface TCLTKGRASS.
 
 You can put the 8.0 libraries parallely onto your machine, there
 shouldn't occur any conflicts to former 7.x versions (all versions 
 are stored in separate directories).
  
 Get the libraries from the TclTKGRASS page,
 (with instructions).

Ready.
