I see an earlier message from Markus that indicates there may be a bug in
the create_fifos.sh script in the source tar ball. I'm not sure if the version
you have has this bug. It may not work as I described ...<br>
<br>
Let us know if you have problems.<br>

Check to see if the files /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.1a, /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.1b,
etc. exist and that they are fifo files. They should have permissions
like prw-rw-rw-. <br>
<br>
If these don't exist, you should be able to create them with the create_fifos.sh script in /usr/local/grass5/dev. Run it as:<br>
./create_fifos.sh /usr/local/grass5<br>
<br>
Did you install as root or as a user? You may need to make sure that you have write permissions on the dev directory.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
