Hi Mike,<br>
<br>
I just tried removing and re-installing the same binary(although i have not yet tried compiing from source as you suggest).<br>
Please note, about both the Feb 20 and Feb 25 cvs binaries, there is NO
MONITORCAP file at all! Hence i get a series of errors at this point...<br>
<br>
Then, to get past the initial errors i keep getting, i copy your gis.m script and folder as well as your monitorcap file.<br>
<br>
Only after this does GRASS start, and then i get the errors in starting a monitor that we have been discussing.<br>
<br>Does this give you any pointers to the problem?<br>

<br>
<br>
This makes me think that there is some kind of problem with your source download or another issue with mixed versions and files.<br>
<br>
I suggest you do a completely clean download of GRASS and a make clean before you compile.<span class="q"><br>

Hi Mike,<br>

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>
