To :anybody out there who has installed the X-windows release 4
on hp machine 9000s300 running hp UX-6.5 :: H E L P ! ! !
I have a problem in getting the server ( hpX as supplied by X-consortuim )
to startup. It gives me the following error & exits :
Binding unix socket : no such file or directory .
this error message , as you hackers know out there, is generated
by the module connection.c in mit/server/os/4.2bsd.
I have compiled it with & without hpux flag, but to no avail!
Has anybody encountered a similar problem? If so I would like to hear
from you.

Make sure you have a writable /usr/spool/sockets directory so X and the Graphics Resource Manager Daemon can create a socket for communications. You'll also need a writable /usr/spool/sockets/X11 directory. drwxrwxrwx 5 bin bin 1024 Aug 26 1989 /usr/spool/sockets I sent you a more comprehensive letter detailing this, Thomas Gilg tomg@cv.hp.com

I had a problem where the installation stuff (on HP-UX 6.5) did not make "/usr/spool/sockets" a CDF. Clients (especially window managers) tended to die whenever clients were started on other machines in the diskless cluster. -- =============================================================================== Ian Hogg email: ian@dms.cdc.com Control Data Corporation phone: (612)-553-4484
