I recently posted a question regarding the failure of xman to run under X11R4 Patch 18 on a SUN 4/60 under SunOS4.0.3c. I did a little playing around and found that the problem was more complicated than that original note implied. As was recommended in the distribution, I unset the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH and did a ``make World''. The build completed without any errors---at least as far as I could gather from the recorded output. I followed this with a ``make install''. At any rate, the first indicator that something was wrong was that I was getting weird SEGV errors when running xman. Later, I discovered more weirdness running the R4 compliant version of xdbx. A psuedo-random sample of the other applications showed no other errors. The bottom line here is that I replaced the shared library libXaw.so.4.0 with one that had been compiled at Patch level 0 and voila! all things began to work. There is the additional annoyance that any application that pops up is now accompanied by a message of the form: Warning: Shell Widget class SimpleMenu binary compiled for R3 Can anyone out there help me out on this nagging question? Is it a known problem with this particular version of SunOS? It could make me break down and do the upgrade. Cheers,
