[GRASS-user] broken d.mon

[Dave Roberts]

Hi Vaclav,

    Happy to stay on list.  I'm grateful for all the help I've received 
here.

    So, the problem is not with compilation.  GRASS64 was working well 
on my system (except for v.dissolve and lib gmath, see other list 
issues).  Oddly, when I mistakenly entered d.mon wx0 it not only didn't 
work (which should be expected), it disabled all the other monitor 
options (seemingly permanently).  When I changed to another location the 
problem persisted which really surprised me.

    Fortunately I have other machines to work on, but this is my primary 
machine for a large research project that emphasized GRASS.  I'm in the 
process of moving to GRASS7, but I couldn't get it to compile on this 
machine (Markus N is helping me with that), so I stayed with GRASS64.

Thanks, Dave
