Markus,

I tried ...

d.mon CELL

and got the same error message. 

The error you reported above does sound like the timing issue. Try ...

d.mon -s start=CELL

followed by ...

d.mon select=CELL

to see if that helps.


The error that I am getting is on my Solaris machine. I try my Linux
machine a little later and see if the same problem exists there, trying
to start the CELL driver.
