fifo stands for   first in first out
and means a special file which can be used as a pipe
between two programs. In this case the grass command and the X11
window displaying program.

It has nothing to do with your unix /dev devices.

I found the problem, that somewhere in the compilation and installation
the path to the "mknod" command is hardcoded.
Deleting the path from that command in generic/GISGEN.sh
might help to get the fifos created.

Watch the beginning of that normal compilation script to see the
messages about creting the fifos.
	
Hope that helps,
