[comp.windows.x] problems X11R4/SUN 4.1 HELP!

geg@beep.mlb.semi.harris.com (Greg Garland) (09/29/90)

Haven't moved up to 4.1 yet, but I've seen this occur where the X libraries
from Sun's Open Look stuff are being accessed before the MIT X libraries.
Check your paths and enviroment variables (like LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to make
sure the shared libraries are being accessed properly.  You can also run
an 'ldd' command on each of the X executables( like: ldd xman ) to see which
shared libraries it will try to access.

Oops. Meant to e-mail this, honest.  Sorry about that.

Yup, I have X11R4 (patchlevel 9) running on sun 3/60 sunos4.1without any
problems, and I have installed and compiled X11R4 (patchlevel 14) on
SS1+ sunos4.1, but I did not test this configuration completly but
everything I tested (xterm, puzzle, ico, muncher, plaid, and a few other
things) worked fine. On both configurations I have still problems with
the andrew toolkit.

We have upgraded to SunOS 4.1, and had no trouble with any of the X
utilities at all.  Prior to doing that, however, we also installed
Motif 1.1.  Part of the process of upgrading to Motif 1.1 was
installing the infamous 14 X patches, as well as a Motif patch that
has been submitted to the X consortium.  If you have not installed
those patches, perhaps you should try it.  Good luck.
