Dear grass-users....

I've installed the Grass-5.0b3 on my RHL6.0, kernel 2.2.5-15, p133. But
when I try the d.mon start=x0 I get following message:

Graph_Set: can't open
Problem selecting x0. Will try once more

What is wrong......

Verify that the fifos are created : look in <grass_dir>/dev.
If there is no fifo.* files, you should create them with
a script "create_fifos_new.sh" in the same directory.

If your <grass_dir> is not /usr/local/grass5.0b, you must edit
this shell script and replace /usr/local/grass5.0b by your
base directory, then run "sh create_fifos_new.sh".

This will create the fifos needed.

If this doesn't work, verify that there is no lock file remaining
(in <grass_dir>/locks/<your machine_name>)...

All my fifos are in order (/gis/grass-5.0b3/dev)..... everytime I run the
d.mon command a lock file is generatet..... I delete the lock file, and
the next time I run the command a new lock file
is made.....

Maybe you are running Grass from a 'su - grass' shell and have not
exported a DISPLAY environment variable?
