[GRASSLIST:2192] Re: d.mon socket problem

[William K]

make sure you have the DISPLAY environment var set to :0.0

also make sure X11 is already running, if you're running GRASS from the  
Terminal instead of an X11 xterm.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly  
what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly  
disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely  
inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has  
already happened.
