I just upgraded from b7 to b11 and I am getting the d.mon problem
that a few others mentioned. When I run d.mon start=x0 I get
Sorry, </usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.1a> not available
Have GRASS adminstrator check etc/monitorcap file
Can't stat /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.1a
Problem selecting x0. Will try once more
Can't stat /usr/local/grass5/dev/fifo.1a
I don't have an /etc/monitorcap file. How is this created? Also,
/usr/local/grass5/dev is a shell script, not a directory.

I assume you have downloaded the source code tarball since this problem
hopefully doesn't appear in the binaries. Hopefully, all you need to do
is add one line to the Makefile and re-install. So, first run
make uninstall
Then change the Makefile around line 190 from this:
real-install: FORCE
test -d ${INST_DIR} || ${MAKE_DIR_CMD} ${INST_DIR}
test -d ${BINDIR} || ${MAKE_DIR_CMD} ${BINDIR}
to this:
real-install: FORCE
test -d ${INST_DIR} || ${MAKE_DIR_CMD} ${INST_DIR}
test -d ${INST_DIR}/dev || ${MAKE_DIR_CMD} ${INST_DIR}/dev
test -d ${BINDIR} || ${MAKE_DIR_CMD} ${BINDIR}
Now you can run
make install
again and hopefully, everything wil be OK. Note that you may want to
make the same change in the Makefile.in file incase you ever run
configure again.
Please let me know if you have any other problems.
