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

[William Kyngesburye]

Yeah, XQuartz is not a drop-in replacement to Apple's old X11, it's installed in in a completely different location.  It may still be compatible and work if GRASS can be relinked.  I'll have to experiment, but that may be a while since I haven't upgraded to Mavericks yet.

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:
