The XDRIVER code has been reinstated, so you should update the
src/display/devices/XDRIVER directory. After that it should work for
you.

Hi Malcolm,

I just updated and compiled, and I get the same fifo error.

Thanks,

I'm sorry.

The code in src/libes/raster/ needs to be updated as well. You should only
need to update the io.c file in that directory. Sorry for the extra work.
(This is the routine where the error message is generated - but both this and
the XDRIVER were changed together).

Hi Malcolm,

Hi again,

I updated io.c, compiled and got the same error, so I updated the whole src/libes/raster/ directory and I still get the same error:

    /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.1a: Operation not supported

Heres a ls -la of fifo.1a:
    prw-rw-rw- 1 jeshua wheel 0 Jan 25 23:48 /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.1a

Is it normal to be zero bytes?

Thanks,

Hi again,

whole src/libes/raster/ directory and I still get the same error:

    /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.1a: Operation not supported

Yes, that's correct.
Suggestion for the IPC: Perhaps fifo* should be renamed to ipc.* (or
whatever) to avoid the confusion what's used.

Note there is a script: $GISBASE/dev/create_buffers.sh to be run
to get proper files if *not* using fifos. Maybe, Jeshua, you have been
missing that? Perhaps a
make clean
make
helps to be sure that everything compiles o.k.
