I am trying to get X11R4.18 running on a "new" SUN sparc 2 that has SunOS 4.1.1 installed on it. I built the X11 distribution with no changes in any configuration file, and everything seemed to go fine based on the log of the "make World" session. I did a "make install", the ran ldconfig. [LD_LIBRARY_PATH was NOT defined during compilation. <sundev/cg6reg.h> was retrieved from a SUN running SunOS 4.1.0.] All is not well however, and I could use some help. PROBLEM 1: I have not been able to get xinit to start at all from the console. I type "xinit" or "xinit -- Xsun" and variations of these. /usr/bin/X11 is in my path. (path vaviable is: /bin /usr/bin /usr/ucb /etc /usr/etc /usr/local/bin /usr/tools /usr/bin/X11 /usr/openwin/bin /usr/openwin/demo .) The following message appears on the console monitor: xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "X" in path. I then typed: "ln -s /usr/bin/X11/Xsun X" and tried "xinit" again. This time I got: fatal server bug no screens found Can anyone explain what else I need to do to start X11 properly using xinit? I have been trying to use the mit/server/ddx/sun/README file as a guide. PROBLEM 2: When I start clients like xeyes or xclock on my X terminal, they seem to start up and run fine. When I start them on the SUN monitor (from an openwin session), I get the following: Warning: Widget class Eyes version mismatch (recompilation needed) widget 11004 vs. intrinsics 11003 (or) Warning: widget class VendorShell version mismatch (recompilation needed) widget 11004 vs. intrinsics 11003. Presumably this would not happen if xinit had started things properly and I weren't in the openwin environment? Anyone know? Thanks in advance for any advice, suggestions, comments or whatever.
