This monitorcap file does not belong with the version of GRASS you say you
downloaded ( grass6.1.cvs-i686-pc-linux-gnu-25_02_2006). It should look
different.
This makes me think that there is some kind of problem with your source
download or another issue with mixed versions and files.
I suggest you do a completely clean download of GRASS and a make clean
before you compile.
Michael

Hi Mike,
After entering grass, i saw that The grassrc6 file did have "MONITOR: X1" -
which i deleted. I also checked the monitorcap file, which did not have
duplicates.
I'm still getting the same errors. copied below is the monitorcap file:
any other suggestions? thanks much for your reply..- vishal
