This is a different issue from what Peter reported. It sounds like there is a problem with your installation. I’d start by looking at the .grassrc6 file in your home directory. If there is a line that specifies a monitor to start, delete it. Next I’d look at the monitorcap file that should be in $GISBASE/etc/.<BR>
<BR>
See if you have one. If you do, look at it with a text editor. It should have one line for each potential display monitor it can open. There should not be any duplicates. I’ve had duplicates show up in a Mac build recently.<BR>
<BR>
In a strange, unrelated problem (but then again, maybe not), that has affected a student in my lab who updated to the newest Cygwin binary. Whenever he starts GRASS, it opens a saved workspace file even though he doesn’t explicitly instruct it to do so.<BR>

Hi,<BR>

I downloaded grass6.1.cvs-i686-pc-linux-gnu-25_02_2006<BR>
but am having problems as soon as i 'enter GRASS'. I've tried updating the scripts you mention in the last email from your website but still get the same error<BR>
On the command window i get:<BR>
<BR>
Could not execute monitor: No such file or directory<BR>
No socket to connect to for monitor <x3>.<BR>
Problem selecting x3. Will try once more<BR>
<BR>
and the error log in the GIS Manager is:<BR>

Please update to the most current version (24 February 2006). You can get<BR>
this by updating from the cvs and recompiling or by getting the package off <BR>
my website <a href="http://www.public.asu.edu/~cmbarton/files/grass_gismgr"><http://www.public.asu.edu/~cmbarton/files/grass_gismgr></a><BR>
...and replacing the files in $GISBASE/etc/gm with those in the package you <BR>
download.<BR>
