I am trying to run grass 4.0 on my macIIvx using macX from sun4 on a
sparcII work station. I get so far as to start grass but I cannot start a
graphic monitor. The error messages that follow indicate a problem with a
font in macX.
However, rebuilding the font directory does not change the situation.
Anyone out there with experience running grass in macX?
GRASS 4.0 > d.mon x1
Graphics driver [x1] started
Graph_SetX: display isis.ento.vt.edu:0.0 doesn't know font 9x15
Please start graphics monitor <x1>.
Error - Graphics monitor <x1> not running!
Hi, I experienced the same problem with MacX and grass4.0 but hadn't time
to fix the problem. Maybe the following will help you:
start MacX with the following command sequence:
/usr/bin/X11/xterm -display isis.ento.vt.edu:0.3 &;
/usr/bin/X11/olwm -display isis.ento.vt.edu:0.3 &
This will start MacX with the Color root window using the olwm - window manager
of the SUN (instead of the Mac Window Manager).
Hope that helps - Zoltan
