Good Morning,
i'm trying to install Grass4.1 on an SGI, using the binary files from the
moon site . The problem I have is after uncompressing the files and getting
my monitorcap file set up when running d.mon I don't get a listing of
the monitors available.This is because the mon.list file is empty as well as the other mon.* files ?
What in Grass writes to theses ? I've installed grass4.1 on a sun and an alpha
and haven't had this problem before ?Are these files bad ? I don't want to have to go through the unpacking process
again , but I may have to .
Jeremy,
I downloaded the SGI binaries this morning to test out monitor problems that
you mentioned above. I could open a monitor but it had problems performing
the locking process. I noticed the locks directory, and all of the other
directories had permissions of 755. This directory and the /dev should be
777. The locks directory may contain remants from compilation that prevents
you from writing to it. Your best best would be to remove anything under
the locks directory first. I didn't see any problem with the mon.* files.
I don't know why these were empty for you.
