[GRASS5] Having problems...

[Alexis Morgan]

Dear Grass5 team,

I've just loaded Grass5.0 for NT/2000 onto my machine and I'm having a few 
problems.

1. If I double click on the startxwin.bat file - I just get a popup dos box 
that does nothing. The only way that I can get an xterm to start up is if I 
use Exceed to start into an XWindows session and then run the 
"startxwin.bat" file. Is this okay or am I causing problems by doing this? 
If so, how can I avoid using Exceed?

2. The first time I ran through things (ran the bash --login -i command and 
then ran grass5), everything loaded properly. However, upon rebooting my 
system and trying again, I'm getting a "ERROR: Invalid return code from 
gis_set.tcl. Please adise GRASS developers of this error. 
/usr/local/grass5/etc/Init.sh: GISDBASE: parameter not set".  Any thoughts 
on this?

3. I'm also having trouble getting the graphics window to come up once in 
Grass. When I got into Grass the first time, things seemed to be working 
properly, but I was still having trouble with the d.mon command and getting 
the graphics window to come up (it gave an error message of:
"The dynamic link library libX11.dll count not be found in the specified 
path 
C:\cygwin\usr\local\grass5\driver;.;C:\WINNT\System32;C:\WINNT\system;C:\WINNT;C:\cygwin\usr\local\grass5=bin;C:\cygwin\usr\local\grass5\scripts;C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\WINNT\system32;c:\WINNT;c:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;c:\usr/X11R6\bin;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\bin."

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Alexis Morgan
