Michael and Vishal,
I think I may have reproduced the same error as Vishal here. I downloaded
Generic Linux Binary Feb.25, as well as gis.m tar package dated Feb24th.
After a regular install (i.e., tar xvf Grass 6.1 cvs, extracted gis.m to
$GISBASE/etc, copied gis.m to $GISBASE/etc/scripts, copied v.what/ and
monitorcap to $GISBASE/etc) Grass starts ok - the display manager launches,
and no errors are reported on the CLI. Trying to start x0 gives the
following error:
Could not execute monitor: No such file or directory
No socket to connect to for monitor <x0>.
Problem selecting x0. Will try once more
No socket to connect to for monitor <x0>.
A similar message is produced for every other monitor. I also noticed that
in the Feb.25th Grass 6.1 binary, there is no monitorcap file in
$GISBASE/etc. I believe there used to a be a monitorcap file here a few
weeks ago, because I remember having to remove/overwrite it with the one
from the gis.m tarfile. Is this normal?
If I close the display manager and try to lauch the gis manager, I get:
Could not execute monitor: No such file or directory
Map display 1 window builds, but as I've had happen before, the splash
screen displays and freezes in the middle of the screen.
When I kill the Map Display 1 window, the following messages are given on
the CLI:
Collecting map names for current mapset <PERMANENT>...
forcing ......
g.remove region=mon_1
REMOVE [mon_1]
region definition
Hope this helps isolate the problem,
~ Eric.

gis.m error
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.m
script 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?

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.

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

Vishal,
This is a different issue from what Peter reported. It sounds like there
is a problem with your installation. I'd 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 I'd 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. I've 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
doesn't explicitly instruct it to do so.
Michael

get the same error
On the command window i get:

Problem selecting x3. Will try once more
and the error log in the GIS Manager is:

Please update to the most current version (24 February 2006). You can
get
this by updating from the cvs and recompiling or by getting the package
off
