problem with installing grass5beta6H

Hello

I have some problems during the install phase of the grass5beta6.
The shell freeze during the "Creating the monitor fifos...".
I have only 3 files in /usr/local/grass-5.0b/dev/ :
create_fifoss.sh
create_fifos_new.sh
fifo.0a
Does someone has a clue ?
My system is :
linux mandrake gold 2000 on a
pII450,128mo,atiragefury, scsi

Thanks

You probably got bit by the `touch bug'. Just go into create_fifos.sh
and comment out those `touch fifo*' lines. Or add the '-c' flag.

Hi all,

the touch statement is commented now in
src/scripts/shells/create_fifos.sh.in

Even I do not know why it was there... It seems to work
without "touch".
If anyone has problems with GRASS monitors when touch was commented
on fifo creation, please let me know.

Regards

I thought they were for Windows compatibility??? BTW, it's touch that is
broken in some versions of GNU File utils.
