fifo

Hi!

I have imported a compiled version of GRASS4.1 to a SPARC station. The
program runs, but I can`t create a graphical window by GRASS.
Some files named fifo.1a, fifo.1b, fifo.2a...... is missing at the
catalog etc/dev/.
Can somebody please help me with how to create these files without
doing a full compilation of GRASS.

Hi,

You can make your own fifo's by doing the following:

cd $GISBASE/dev ($GISBASE is the dir where GRASS resides)
mknod fifo.1a p (don't forget the p!!!)
chmod 666 fifo.1a

do the same for the other fifo's you need (have a look at the file
$GISBASE/etc/monitorcap)
