[GRASS5] [bug #3803] (grass) Can't start any monitor not even GUI

[Michael Barton]

Anne,

This sounds like it may be missing the gdal library for some reason.
However, I strongly recommend that you use 6.1.cvs for Cygwin instead of
6.0. Ironically, the newest version of the "development" 6.1 (from Huidae
Cho's binary installation website) is much more robust, has more features,
and is easier to use than the "stable" 6.0.

You will need to delete 6.0 because there are conflicts between gdal (used
for importing and exporting graphic formats) for 6.0 and 6.1. Also, make
sure that you get the grass61.bat file to start it instead of the
grass60.bat file.
