Subject: Error in startup script: child process exited abnormally

Platform: WindowsNT/2000/XP

to open a test dataset, i am recieving an error.  Error in startup script: child
process exited abnormally .

"exec ps.map -p"
 (procedure "DmPrint::init" line 14)

  invoked from within

"DmPrint::init"
  (procedure "main" line 32)
   invoked from within

   (file "/usr/local/grass6.0.0/etc/dm/d.m.tcl" line 894)
Thank you for your time,

6.0 is very old; use 6.02 at least. I recommend using 6.1 CVS, soon to be
released as current stable.

You can workaround the problem, I guess, by starting Grass with 'grass6
-text'. You will have to select location and mapset in a text interface. Once
you are in, start the GUI with 'd.m&'.

Does that help?

Hi Maciek,
   I tried deleteing and reinstalling grass on my computer.  This time i 
installed the 6.02 version.

I have tried two different methods to get this thing to work.

1) Download the grass60.bat file and run that.  This case i get the same 
error message as before.

2) run cygwin.bat,
    type grass60,
    set up location, mapset, database
    press esc and enter
    type d.m &
    Then i get an error as follows

Application failed: no dispay name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

Error in startup script: dynamic loading is not currently available on this 
system while exectuting
...



Let me know if you have any suggestions,

Thanks,

Kevin

I'm not able to help you any further beyond suggesting you try Grass 6.1 CVS.
I'm CCing Huidae Cho, cygwin Grass mantainer, who might be able to help you more.
Huidae,

Can you take a look at this and give Kevin more guiding?

Thanks,
Maciek

Hi,

I recommend you to install 6.1 cvs after uninstalling 6.0.  6.0 is
simply too old.

You should run startxwin.bat instead of cygwin.bat. cygwin.bat does not
launch X-Window on which GRASS runs.

No reply, so it seems Huidae's hint helped. Closing bug. If still valid though
please reply to this email - this will re-open it.
