Hello, I have some problems: I obtained X11R4, installed it and encounterd a view bugs. So a get the patches from: Xstuff service <xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu>. So far no problems. When I tried to install the first patch, this is what I saw: *************************************************************** /local/X11R4/util/patch -p0 mit/patches/fixes.001a < mit/patches/fixes.001a Hmm...

Looks like there is a problem with lines in the patch files which are longer than some number of characters, perhaps 78, getting re-formatted into two separate lines. Perhaps a mailer has rearranged these lines for you, resulting in the patch failing. You could edit them back into single lines -- if it is obvious which ones should be on single lines -- or try to acquire the patches again, through a different route, to try to avoid the problem. You mentioned this failed in patch #1 - it should be on a single line: ! static char Xrcsid[] = "$XConsortium: Create.c,v 1.66 89/11/14 14:18:56 swick Exp $"; Donna Converse converse@expo.lcs.mit.edu

I have received the patches for X11R4 from the Xstuff server, I could not install them because, like Donna Converse wrote me (thank you for the help), some mailers have reformatted lines which are longer then +-80 characters. I have looked around to get these patches somewhere else, but without any succes. Is it possible to get these patches in a uuencoded (maybe tared and compressed first) form from the Xstuff server (or another server)? Thanks in advance. Pieter P.
