trouble starting monitors in grass5

  I have a problem with my new grass5 installation.

  The messages from last week about <chmod 0666> allowed the starting of
of the monitors.

  Now I can select a monitor with no messages. However, when I try to
display a vector file I get the message:

No graphics monitor has been selected for output.
Please run "d.mon" to select a graphics monitor.

  1) There is a screen x0.

  2) There are no files under the ..../grass5/locks/*/ directories.

  ???

Hi Bob,

there needs to be a subdirectory named as your machine (get that
with uname -n).

login: root
cd grass5/locks
mkdir <name_of_machine>
cd ..
chmod -R 1777 locks/

Hope this helps
