[comp.windows.x] Installing X11R4 under SunOS 4.1

scott@nbc1.ge.com (Scott Barman) (07/24/90)

In my last article, I tried to explaine a problem I am having with
shared libraries with X11R4.  Before I continue, YES, I ran ldconfig and
all the machines that will run X11R4 have been rebooted since we
compiled it.

Since then, I have heard from a number of people with problem running
X11R4 under SunOS 4.1.  Most of it has to do with the shared libraries
problem.

Question:  Is there anybody out there in netland who has gotten X11R4
working under SunOS 4.1 using shared libraries?  If so, would you PLEASE
drop me a note (reposond to this posting if you'd like) and PLEASE tell
me what you did to get it to work.  All help would be appreciated to
myself and the dozen-or-so others I have heard from!

  I have built the distribution on SunOS 4.1 on a Sun 490 with 
  *no* problems.  The  big caveat is that I haven't been able to 
  test the server as we do not have a console monitor on the machine.
  (don't ask... :-) 

  I have tested the most of the clients and xtrek6.0b (;-), all 
  work fine.  

  Note: I didn't do anything special, libs are in /usr/lib, etc. and 
        I used cc to generate the entire distribution.

  Feel free to contact me, if I can help, I'd be glad to....
