[GRASSLIST:1791] GRASS Mac OS X -- no d.mon

[otter]

In the process of installing GRASS on Mac OS X . . . GRASS is now 
running in an xterm window (Xtools), but have run into the following 
problem:

When try to assign a monitor device, I get the following:

<PERMANENT> in Location <spearfish>
GRASS 5.0beta11 > d.mon start=x2
Sorry, </usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.3a> not available
Have GRASS adminstrator check etc/monitorcap file
Can't stat /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.3a
Problem selecting x2. Will try once more
Can't stat /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.3a

get same result for other values x3,x4, etc.

checking status with d.mon -L shows all displays as ??.

Following up, the error message, the /usr/local/grass5/dev directory is 
empty.

In the /usr/local/grass5/etc directory there are both a monitorcap and a 
monitorcap.orig file (which appear to be identical).

Sample info from monitorcap:

x0:driver/XDRIVER:X-windows graphics display: \
      /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.1a /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.1b \
      ::any terminal
x1:driver/XDRIVER:X-windows graphics display: \
      /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.2a /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.2b \
      ::any terminal


Any help appreciated.
