Dear Grass Users:
I've run in to a bit of a snag in running grass4.0 d.mon commands at our
site, and am looking for any suggestions as to how to rectify the
problem.
When i try to start a graphics monitor ie. d.mon start=x1 i receive an
error message that the system can't find the fifo.a1 and that i should
check the etc/monitorcap file.
The monitorcap file exist and the first entry in it specifies
grass4.0/dev/fifo.a1 as a device driver (this seems ok)
However when i search the directory /grass4.0/dev there are no files
present. Our system administrator believes someone has accidentally
deleted some files from here and this is the cause of the problem.
Questions:
1. Is this correct must i have a fifo.1a file in my grass4.0/dev
directory?
2. If unable to retrive one from backups made of grass directorieswhere
can i get this file ?
Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated greatly.
Thank You.
