Hi, I built xps, the X PostScript interpretter on my HPUX 7.0 series 300, and is compiled cleanly. The problem is that when I try to run it, it gives a buss error and dumps core, without any messages about why or where it is going wrong. Know how to fix it? Or maybe if you have a binary, I could get it from you? Thanks, Mike Gourlay

Regardless of whether things compile and link cleanly or not, HP's X server doesn't seem to speak X the way the rest of the world does, which leaves us all up a certain creek without a certain paddle. Of course, were we to build our own servers from the Mit code, then we could probably trash all our HP X binaries. This is my guess from trying to get things working for the past couple of weeks. I would LOVE for somebody to prove me wrong here, but there's LOTS of stuff I just can't get working. So how about it, HP? Is it all THAT unreasonable for us to expect to ftp and build some of the toys from export.lcs.mit.edu and have them work? Things I would like to see like xrn, xps, xpostit, xtalk, and others seem mere inches out-of-reach. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Tim Gurbick a.k.a. teg@peabody.iusb.indiana.edu Dept of Math & CS: 237-GEEK Help: 911 d.b.a. teg@natasha.iusb.indiana.edu `whois \!TEG12` Traci:0x45 SYSV: just say NO! teg@nova.cc.purdue.edu !hoser The Amiga: Born a Champion Me: International Unix Standards Bored, educational division: (219)237-IHEX address: CS Dept IUSB POB 7111 1700 Mishawaka Avenue, South Bend, IN 46634 "Work FOR?
