I am new to the WCL which I recently received, and I am having problems debugging my program. One of the things that I am trying to do is run the Athena intepreter from another program and create text widgets. But I have to set my environemnt before I can create the widget. I can set my XENVIRONMENT to my resource file in my shell, but when I try to do that in my program by using the putenv(string) command, it gives me a segmentation fault. The machine I'm using is the Sun 3. If anyone has any information on how I can set my environment, your help is greatly needed and appreciated. Thanks Cheng-Yaw Chang

Perhaps you are calling putenv with an automatic variable? The string you pass to putenv must stay around forever. Well, not quite forever; check the Sun man page for details. < Stephen MIT X Consortium
