Greetings,
I have installed Grass 4.1 along with the data and imagery acquired from the
network on a SUN SPARC Station 2 running SUN OS Release 4.1.1.
When I try to start the graphics monitor the following message is displayed
to the 'd.mon start=x0' command:
GRAPH_SET: Can't open
Please start graphics monitor <x0>
The system does not have Motif installed on it, is this a requirement?
It has OpenLook instead. I basically took the defaults for the compiler,
loader and other settings and it found the X11 libraries etc, ok. All the
files and directories have open access.
Does anyone have an answer for this one?
Thanks in advance.

no.
check your display environment variable ( % printenv DISPLAY ).
from Graph_Set.c:
/* Open the display using the $DISPLAY environment variable to
* locate the X server. Return 0 if cannot open. */
if (!(dpy = XOpenDisplay(NULL))) {
fprintf(stderr, "Graph_Set: can't open %s\n", XDisplayName(NULL));
^^
return 0;
}
The XDisplayName function returns the name of the display
that XOpenDisplay would attempt to use. If a NULL string is
specified, XDisplayName looks in the environment for the
display and returns the display name that XOpenDisplay would
attempt to use. This makes it easier to report to the user
precisely which display the program attempted to open when
the initial connection attempt failed.
