It works here (at least 1 minute ago...).

Are you on the wrong CVS branch?
The main branch is not working, development is on the
"releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0", check here for more details:

I see the correct branch in the CVS/Entries file, anyway I updated
again my cvs copy with

cvs update -r releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0
cvs up -dP

as suggested on the GRASS web site, just to make sure I haven't
overlooked anything, and compiled again... same problem.
See also my configure problem in bug 882.
This evening I will check how it works at home on my Mandrake box.

Just to make sure, I checked out again in a fresh directory:

export
CVSROOT=:pserver:grass-guest@intevation.de:/home/grass/grassrepository
cvs login
cvs -z3 checkout -r releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0 grass

I deleted the old install directory /usr/local/grass5, deleted
$HOME/.grassrc5, made configure (with the same problems reported in bug
802),
make, make install and the problem is still there...
can anyone with a RedHat 7.2 install try the same?
Sigh, it worked with my first install, when I checked out GRASS two days
ago...
Best regards
Andrea Aime

PS: is the any monitor related file that may haven't been deleted
while erasing /usr/local/grass5?

Andrea,

that's really strange. Please check following:
the d.mon socket files are stored in
/tmp/grass-$USER
do you have write permission there?

Just a guess,
Markus

I can find the /tmp/grass-$USER and it has full permissions
for my user, but there are no files in it... d.mon raises
an error before creating these files... what does "Could not execute
monitor: No such file or directory" means?

could you test if there is an executable file $GISBASE/driver/XDRIVER ?
If this is missing the driver is not built or installed.
Or look into the file $GISBASE/etc/monitorcap, there should be an entry
for each x monitor in the form:
x0:driver/XDRIVER:X-windows graphics display:/pathtograss/dev/fifo.1a
/pathtograss/dev/fifo.1b::any terminal

Did you use 'make install' to install grass? Do you run from the
dist.... directory?

There must be something obvious wrong, it still works over here...

What strikes me too:
I am able to do:
./configure --with-postgres-includes=/usr/include/pgsql,
no need to disable blas, lapack, motif, freetype.
Are you sure that you are using the latest sources?
Try rm conf* and update via cvs.

Andreas
