[comp.windows.x] Problems getting R4 running on VAX

oneill@bass.bu.edu (Brian V O'Neill) (08/09/90)

Well, I got one response to my last request, and unfortunately his
suggestion did not help. However, I think I have some more info...

First, the particulars:

	- VAXstation 3100 Mono running Ultrix 3.0 w/o UWS software
	- X11R4 fix-14
	- GCC 1.37.1

Everything compiles fine, with the exception of xdm (can't find some
encryption function). When I try to run the X server (Xqvss for the
monochrome), either directly or through startx or xinit, I get the
following:

Getting interface configuration: Can't assign requested address
Bus error (core dumped)

Nearest I can tell is thatin creating the socket it is using an invalid
address. The socket file is created though.

All the clients have similar problems. If I try and run a client on either
the UWS server supplied by DEC (R3) or an R4 server on a Sun, when I try and
place the window it comes back with Can't assign requested address. I may or
may not end up with a blank window that I can't get rid of without dropping
all connections.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated...
