Subject: Can't start any monitor not even GUI

Hello!
I downloaded GRASS 6.0.0, the recommended version, on my PC. It seems a 
problem of Cygwin, because GRASS works successfully until I write commands 
like d.mon ( it answers " no socket to connect to for monitor x0" ) or d.m &
( shows a short list of steps telling Application initialization failed: no 
display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable . Error in startup script:
dynamic loading is not currently available on this system, then programming 
explanation.
I wish you can help me, because I prefer GRASS to other (expensive!) GIS..
is there, if Cygwin cold not be set right, another solution?
Thanks
Anne Ghisla

Anne,

This sounds like it may be missing the gdal library for some reason.
However, I strongly recommend that you use 6.1.cvs for Cygwin instead of
6.0. Ironically, the newest version of the "development" 6.1 (from Huidae
Cho's binary installation website) is much more robust, has more features,
and is easier to use than the "stable" 6.0.

You will need to delete 6.0 because there are conflicts between gdal (used
for importing and exporting graphic formats) for 6.0 and 6.1. Also, make
sure that you get the grass61.bat file to start it instead of the
grass60.bat file.

Michael

Sounds like X-windows isn't working correctly. Does something simple
like "xeyes" work? You need to get that working first.

Are you running from a DOS window or an Xterm? ie did you type "startx"?
