Running SunOS 4.1.1 on SparcStation 2's and other fun things... *8-) I just got webster and Xwebster up and running (after a bit of work) and I know seem to be getting some weird warning messages from Xwebster. (prelude - I have seen and used Xwebster on another similiar system.) Now, the warnings don't *seem* to do anything at all, they are just a irritation...

Warning: Widget class VPanedWindow version mismatch:
widget 11004 vs. intrinsics 11003.
These warnings are caused by compiling a client with newer Xt libraries
than are being found on the system upon which the client is being run.
This is the result of an oversight in the initial MIT R4 release, which set
the revision number of the Xt libraries incorrectly. It was fixed in a
subsequent patch (fix-10), but some vendors (in particular, Sun) have yet
to pick up this patch in their commercial distributions -- hence the
warnings.
Basically, your options are to ignore the messages, recompile the client
with the older libraries, or put the newer libraries ahead of the older
ones on your machine.

[About a billion more such messages deleted (actually one per widget class)] |> |> Suggestions anyone??? |> |> JC |> [big sig deleted] This happens because there are two versions of Xt running around on the SPARC. The version you should find in $OPENWINHOME/lib and the version you should find in /usr/lib/X11 (i.e. MIT X11R4) disagree on a very minor version number. You're right -- these messages don't seem to have any earthly effect on the code. There are two ways to fix this problem: 1) Carefully set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that when you use apps built using X11R4, you do not have $OPENWIHOME/lib in that path (which is a bit of a pain if you use both Motif/Athena apps and XView apps, which I do (since Sun's XGL only seems to be happy under olwm, but I prefer Motif for my widgets)) 2) Get your sysadmin to fix it. We fixed it by making the copies of Xt in $OPENWINHOME/lib be links to the MIT X11R4 versions. This doesn't seem to cause any problems, since XView doesn't use Xt.
