[comp.sys.hp] HP Vue on 400t

sudipto@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu (Sudipto Mukherjee) (03/22/91)

We run HP Vue on a 400t. HP Vue runs fine in the default shell (sh).
If the default login shell is 'csh', the file manager and help icons
do not work. The error message is typically that there is no path to
/usr/softbench/bin/softmsgsrv : cannot execute file vuefile.

I set path to /usr/bin/x11: /bin: /usr/bin: /usr/contrib/bin.

However the problem still persists. Does anyone there have a fix
to this problem ?

Check your $HOME/.cshrc to make sure your path includes /usr/bin/X11.

			 don't you mean capital 'X'?

I finally got it working. Using C shell, the path has to be set in
the .cshrc file. Setting it in the .vueprofile file does not work.
The path has to be set to


/usr/bin/X11 /bin /usr/bin /usr/contrib/bin

Thanks to everybody who responded to my question on the net or by
email.
