[GRASS5] can't start mon under WinGeneric but can under X11, again...

[Jeff D. Hamann]

Glynn:

Thanks for the help. I tried you're suggestions to no avail.

When I built grass503 with the following configuration:

$
./configure --without-gd --without-odbc --without-fftw --without-postgres --
without-x --without-opengl --enable-w11

Could this be a cygwin problem, and if so how could I find out?

Jeff.
