[GRASSLIST:10586] Re: problems with GIS managerRe: GRASS 6.1cvs gis.m error

[Michael Barton]

Vishal,

This is a different issue from what Peter reported. It sounds like there is
a problem with your installation. I¹d start by looking at the .grassrc6 file
in your home directory. If there is a line that specifies a monitor to
start, delete it. Next I¹d look at the monitorcap file that should be in
$GISBASE/etc/.

See if you have one. If you do, look at it with a text editor. It should
have one line for each potential display monitor it can open. There should
not be any duplicates. I¹ve had duplicates show up in a Mac build recently.

In a strange, unrelated problem (but then again, maybe not), that has
affected a student in my lab who updated to the newest Cygwin binary.
Whenever he starts GRASS, it opens a saved workspace file even though he
doesn¹t explicitly instruct it to do so.

Michael

Hi,

i've been trying to install GRASS, on my Ubunty Hoary distribution, the
GRASS distribution Generic GNU/Linux (ia32)
<http://grass.itc.it/grass61/binary/linux/snapshot/>  (generated weekly):
I downloaded grass6.1.cvs-i686-pc-linux-gnu-25_02_2006
but am having problems as soon as i 'enter GRASS'. I've tried updating the
scripts you mention in the last email from your website but still get the
same error
On the command window i get:

 Could not execute monitor: No such file or directory
No socket to connect to for monitor <x3>.
Problem selecting x3. Will try once more

and the error log in the GIS Manager is:
child process exited abnormally
    while executing
"exec -- d.mon start=x3 >@ stdout 2>@ stderr"
    ("eval" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"eval exec -- $cmd $args >@ stdout 2>@ stderr"
    (procedure "run" line 2)
    invoked from within
"run "d.mon start=$mon""
    invoked from within
"if ![catch {open "|d.mon -L" r} input] {
        while {[gets $input line] >= 0} {
            if {[regexp -nocase "$mon.*not running" $line]} {
                r..."
    (procedure "Dm::displmon" line 3)
    invoked from within
"Dm::displmon x3"
    invoked from within
".mainframe.frame.pw1.f0.frame.rb3 invoke"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w $cmd]"
    (procedure "tk::CheckRadioInvoke" line 3)
    invoked from within
"tk::CheckRadioInvoke .mainframe.frame.pw1.f0.frame.rb3"
    (command bound to event)

PLease help!
