I'm new to grass, but experienced in UNIX/Linux. Any pointers for solving
this problem?
RH 6.1, gnome, grass install from grass5beta5_linuxbin_tar.gz on a 233MHz
IBM thinkpad, 64Mb RAM
Installed without error, grass starts up ok (using spearfish data),
tcltkgrass starts ok
but I can't get a monitor window to open - either from tcltkgrass or
command line in grass.
From command line:
'd.mon start=x' yields: "can not allocate any read/write color cells"
subsequent '^C' yields: "Problem selecting x0. Will try once more"
one more '^C' exits to grass prompt.
from tcltkgrass toolbar:
an attempt to start monitor yields a d.mon window containing
the message "can not allocate any read/write color cells" and prevents any
other
action from the tcltkgrass toolbar until the d.mon window is dismissed.

Glen,
I had the same problem with RH 6.0 & Gnome. I fixed it by switching my
console from bash to C before starting X. It also seems to work by launching
GRASS from a C shell in a terminal window.
Hope that works for you too.

Glen and Patrick,
you may take a look at GRASS FAQ:
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/faq/
-> Frequently asked questions:
-> d.mon problems: Error: "cannot allocate any read/write color cells" .
Hope this helps
