I have recently been attempting to install GKS in the Mathematics Department. I am able to compile all the source programs, but hvae not been able to get any of the examples to work. I am able to create executable modules for the C examples (ex##.c, star.c). However, they do not produce the expected output. For example, meade@neumann-113> ex01 SunGKS: Couldn't get shared memory: Invalid argument Be sure that your kernel is configured for shared memory gkstool: can't start input SunGKS: Couldn't get shared memory: Invalid argument Be sure that your kernel is configured for shared memory *** GKS window appears on screen for ~1 second *** SunGKS: can't start input SunGKS: Can't create a new surface Error 26 in function: Open Workstation Specified workstation cannot be opened. Error 6 in function: Activate Workstation GKS not in proper state; GKS shall be in state WSOP or WSAC. Error 5 in function: Polyline GKS not in proper state; GKS shall be in state WSAC or SGOP. Error 7 in function: Message GKS not in proper state; GKS shall be in state WSOP, WSAC or SGOP. *** delay of ~5 seconds before next messages appear *** Error 3 in function: Deactivate Workstation GKS not in proper state; GKS shall be in state WSAC. Error 25 in function: Close Workstation Specified workstation is not open. meade@neumann-114> Any ideas about what I need to change to get this to run properly? A more pressing concern is the FORTRAN examples (duck.f, iron.f). These do not create executable modules; the loader is unable to locate a symbol with the name do_lio. For example, meade@neumann-146> f77 -I/p2/gks/include duck.f /p2/gks/lib/libgks77.a /p2/gks/lib/libgks.a -lsuntool -lsunwindow -lpixrect -lm -o duck duck.f: MAIN fortduck: ld: Undefined symbol _do_lio meade@neumann-147> I have been unable to locate any archive with do_lio. Can anybody inform me of the source for such a symbol? Once I am able to create will I have the same difficulties as with the C examples? I am running SunOS4.1 on a Sun 3/360. If you need further information concerning my setup, please ask. I do not read this group, so please respond via e-mail.
