[GRASS-user] d.mon error (X11 problem?)

[William Kyngesburye]

It's possible that the XQuartz libraries are not compatible with the old X11, which the current GRASS binaries are built with.  GRASS would need to be recompiled for XQuartz.

I previously worked with it for just a few months and was able to get some work accomplished, but I’m still a novice.  I’m working on a Mac with Mac OS X 10.9 and when I try to open a display monitor from the command line I get the following:
