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.
