Hi - I'm trying to run Grass GIS 5.0.2. on Mac OS X (from Openosx.com)
The install went smoothly enough but am unable to get the GUI / Window System running. I have installed Apple X11. I am up to date on all System SW.
I am able to get a pallete up called "Wish" - however when I try to get load some kind of rastor - I get the message "No graphics monitor has been selected for output.
Please run "d.mon" to select a graphics"
I run d.mon and list my displays...

Monitors:

x0 X-windows graphics display not running
x1 X-windows graphics display not running

x4 X-windows graphics display not running
x5 X-windows graphics display not running
x6 X-windows graphics display not running
CELL Create GRASS Raster File not running
HTMLMAP Create HTML Image Map not running
PNG Create PNG Map not running
hit RETURN ->

Examples of other errors:
GRASS 5.0.2 > NavGetReply failed, -128 xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
GRASS 5.0.2 > tcltkgrass & [2] 2774
GRASS 5.0.2 > xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
NavGetReply failed, -128
I feel like I am so close to getting going on GRASS - but this Monitor thing is totally hosing me.
Has anyone battled this in OS X? Any advice and guidance would be appreciated.
Regards,
Hugh Evans

The command would we "d.mon start=x0" or similiar.

Can you open windows of other GRASS unrelated X11 applications.
Maybe xeyes or xterm?
The error seem to be related to the setup of your shell
or X11 server and not the GRASS specific.

No I haven't tried this on OS X, because I try to use Free Software
as much as I can. 
Maybe my general hints also are helpful.

1. Ensure that the X server is actually running.
2. Ensure that the environment variable DISPLAY is set appropriately.
For a Bourne shell (bash, ksh etc), use:
DISPLAY=:0
export DISPLAY
For a C shell (csh, tcsh), use:
setenv DISPLAY :0
If you start the X server as part of a session (e.g. using startx),
any terminals (xterm) which were created as part of the session should
already have DISPLAY set appropriately. OTOH, if you start the X
server directly, you have to set DISPLAY manually.

You have probably already done this, but make sure you are logged in as an
administrator, I remember I had similar problems when I tried to use grass as a
normal osx user. Good luck
