|I installed grass4.0 on a monochrome SPARC (while waiting for the color
|ones)...and I got this error : 'Can't set up pipe to graphics device'.
|Any suggestions.. Thanks

|Sorry, </GRASS/Sun4/dev/fifo.12a> is not a fifo file
|Have GRASS adminstrator check etc/monitorcap file
|Error - Can't set up pipe to graphics device.

It seems that the file /GRASS/Sun4/dev/fifo.12a isn't really a fifo.
Try this:

	cd /GRASS/Sun4/dev
	rm -f fifo.12a fifo.12b
	mknod fifo.12a p
	mknod fifo.12b p
	chmod 666 fifo.12a fifo.12b
	ls -l fifo.12a fifo.12b
you should see
	prw-rw-rw- fifo.12a
	prw-rw-rw- fifo.12b
