Hi Mike,
I just tried removing and re-installing the same binary(although i have not
yet tried compiing from source as you suggest).
Please note, about both the Feb 20 and Feb 25 cvs binaries, there is NO
MONITORCAP file at all! Hence i get a series of errors at this point...
Then, to get past the initial errors i keep getting, i copy your
gis.mscript and folder as well as your monitorcap file.
Only after this does GRASS start, and then i get the errors in starting a
monitor that we have been discussing.
Does this give you any pointers to the problem?
