[GRASS-user] d.mon error (X11 problem?)

I’ve recently started using GRASS again after a few years and I don’t
remember a lot. I previously worked with it for just a few months and was
able to get some work accomplished, but I’m still a novice. I’m working on
a Mac with Mac OS X 10.9 and when I try to open a display monitor from the
command line I get the following:

GRASS 6.4.3 (bali_d03):~ > d.mon x0
ERROR: no such monitor 'x0'
ERROR: No such monitor as <x0>
Problem selecting x0. Will try once more
ERROR: No such monitor as <x0>

I went back to my old system that I used GRASS on before (GRASS 6.4.0RCS
running Mac OS X 10.6.8) and d.mon x0 worked fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Starting with 10.8 (I think) Apple stopped providing an X11 package. You need to download and install X11 (XQuartz) on your own now.

Marvin,

I’ve downloaded and installed XQuartz but I’m still getting the same error. I’ve tried starting X11 before GRASS and starting GRASS from the xterm command line, but no luck.

Thanks,
Lee

It's possible that the XQuartz libraries are not compatible with the old X11, which the current GRASS binaries are built with. GRASS would need to be recompiled for XQuartz.

Hi Lee,

this is bit off topic but you mentioned that you are returning to GRASS, and as d.mon user you may be interested in the fact that in GRASS 7 there is no d.mon x0 but d.mon wx0 which is wxPython-based and in fact similar to Map Display in the main GRASS GUI (wxGUI).

Yeah, XQuartz is not a drop-in replacement to Apple's old X11, it's installed in in a completely different location. It may still be compatible and work if GRASS can be relinked. I'll have to experiment, but that may be a while since I haven't upgraded to Mavericks yet.

Well it’s not critical, as I’m able to display the data in the WxGUI Map Display. Now I’m stumped with georeferencing my data (next post).

Thanks
