I've been trying to use r.in.ll to import a gtopo30 dem file, and it keeps
failing with the message "warning: can't find a temporary null file.."
Anyone know the remedy for this? Many thanks, tom@bluesky.org
Hello!
I am a new grass user and try start
just compiled grass5.0b.
But my /usr/local/grass5.0beta/dev/
have not any files.
And can not load any maps.
my monitorcap from montcap.sample
have only one uncomment string:
x0:driver/XDRIVER:X-windows graphics display: \
/usr/local/grass5.0beta/dev/fifo.1a
/usr/local/grass5.0beta/dev/fifo.1b \
::any terminal
what is fifo.1a?
Is it devise from my main UNIX dir?
/dev/-tty ?
Thanks for any help!

fifo stands for first in first out
and means a special file which can be used as a pipe
between two programs. In this case the grass command and the X11
window displaying program.

It has nothing to do with your unix /dev devices.
I found the problem, that somewhere in the compilation and installation
the path to the "mknod" command is hardcoded.
Deleting the path from that command in generic/GISGEN.sh
might help to get the fifos created.
Watch the beginning of that normal compilation script to see the
messages about creting the fifos.
Hope that helps,
Bernhard
