You could try starting it with

grass5 -text

and then, presuming it starts up fine in text mode, you could then try  
starting up the graphic interface with
tcltkgrass&

Maybe then if there are problems with the graphic menu system there  
might be some diagnostic error messages that you could report.  Also,  
if the problem is just in the menu system, you could at least get to  
work using "normal" / text prompt GRASS.

In any case, the developers will likely need more information, such as  
what platform you're on, etc...

Starting it in text mode did the trick, but about 5 hours later my computer crashed,
I don't know is grass had anythind to do with it or not.  I think I will upgrade
to Mandrake 9.2 and try again.
