Due to minor bugs in the configuration control, if you are trying to
install library files into a directory other than /usr/lib/X11, you'll
need to set XFILESEARCHPATHDEFAULT and ERRORDB in mit/config/site.def:
that doesn't seem to do any good.
Yup, the ERRATA is wrong (too much of a hurry), the Xt Imakefile doesn't
propagate the file search path.tom@ICASE.EDU (Tom Crockett) (01/05/90)

Assuming I've already built R4 using the instructions from the ERRATA file, how much do I need to rebuild (using the previously posted changes instead) to get things to work right? The whole release, or just lib/Xt, or somewhere in between?

Note however that I really can't see any need to override the choices for these values relative to the value of $(LIBDIR). I provide the code that does allow their supersession in site.def simply because the ERRATA file intended this. I expect that if an official fix is forthcoming, it will not include the ability to override these values from site.def. *** mit/lib/Xt/Imakefile-dist Mon Dec 18 13:03:06 1989 --- mit/lib/Xt/Imakefile Sat Jan 6 11:03:10 1990 *************** *** 7,15 **** #if UnalignedReferencesAllowed ALIGN_DEFINES = -DUNALIGNED #endif !

I'm have a bit of a problem getting XFILESEARCHPATH to follow a new
path to the libraries under X11R4. In lib/Xt/Intrinsic.c the
following code seems to be where XFILESEARCHPATH is checked and if it is
non-null use it otherwise use XFILESEARCHPATHDEFAULT:
#ifndef VMS
if (defaultPath == NULL) {
defaultPath = getenv("XFILESEARCHPATH");
if (defaultPath == NULL) defaultPath = XFILESEARCHPATHDEFAULT;
}
path = defaultPath;
#else
path = ""; /* NULL would kill us later */
#endif /* VMS */
But, when I set the environment variable XFILESEARCHPATH to the
location of my installed libraries, the path is not followed, only the
default location is checked. Am I missing something here? I'm
running X11R4 on HPs under HPUX 7.0 and on Suns under OS 4.0.3. I am
in the process of recompiling the code with XFILESEARCHPATHDEFAULT
redefined per the notes in the ERRATA file to see if the new location for
the libraries can be accessed. I'll know soon.
On the Suns, I've even run ldconfig and added the new shared libraries
but they still cannot be accessed. If, on the Suns I set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the library location, then they are found at
run-time execution by the clients. Any suggestions?
On the HPs, I've got additional problems, like trying to locate
/lusr/include/X11/bitmaps instead of the default
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps. We have an X11R4 release from HP installed
on our systems. I discovered this problem when trying to run xbiff with:
XBiff*fullPixmap: mailfull
XBiff*emptyPixmap: mailempty
defined in my .Xdefaults file. If I add the full pathname to the
bitmaps, then everyting is fine.
On both OS's I modified site.def to use the /lusr path for BinDIr,
UsrLibDir, IncDir, AdmDir, and IncRoot.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
