Hi all,

sorry for this problem! The provided Linux/Intel binaries 
were compiled on SuSe6.2 (based on glibc2.1, Kernel 2.2.10).
It seems that Suse 6.0/6.1 was based on a former version of
glibc.

If using a Linux based on glibc2.0 you get the error
GRASS:~ > d.mon start=x0
d.mon: error in loading shared libraries
: undefined symbol: __bzero

This glibc2.1 obviously has introduced the new symbol "__bzero".

Solutions:
  - one of you provide a GRASS 5 based on glibc2.0 (SuSe 6.0) and
    I store it on the GRASS web server for GRASS community
  - you get the source code and compile GRASS locally. Quite easy!

Best regards
