I have completed the build of X11R4 for my sun4 machines. The build
was flawless. I am very impressed with the package. I have paid thousands
of dollars for software and not got a product nearly this good.
Congratulations and thanks.
I do have a couple of difficulties I can't resolve.
1. xterm -- when I first bring up the release after the build and install
xterm dies with the messaage --
" can't find shared library libXaw.so.4 "
the library is definitly there. I manually copied the xterm exectutable
from mit/clients/xterm to /usr/bin/X11 and it works. I checked the owner
and protection on the file and it did not change. Any suggestions.
2. xbiff -- dies at startup with message
" cannot convert string flagup to Pixmap"
" cannot convert string flagdown to Pixmap"
3. xcalc -- start okay and gives initial window. But does not accept
any input. Has no keys on display.

Any suggestions. > SunOS4.0 by default uses shared libraries which must be linked in at application startup time. I believe that SunOS only searches the directories /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib for the libraries. If this is the case then you will have to copy the libs generated by X into one of these directories. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morry Katz Rockwell Science Center administrator@rpal.com (machine administration issues) katz@rpal.com (other) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Was the version that "make install" puts there set-uid, or set-gid? If so and you are running SunOS >=4.0 && <= 4.1 then the .so file *must* be in the standard place (/usr/lib, or /usr/local/lib). [This is true *only* for set-uid, or set-gid files] >2. xbiff -- dies at startup with message > " cannot convert string flagup to Pixmap" > " cannot convert string flagdown to Pixmap" >3. xcalc -- start okay and gives initial window. But does not accept > any input. Has no keys on display. You don't have the search path for bitmaps & app-defaults correct. If you have all the patches and the problem still exists fix it by hand. I don't rember what files need to be changed, grep for /usr/local/X11 [or whereever the system was designed to be installed, *NOT* where you told it to go, the mit-default!] in all the .c & .h files in $TOP/mit/lib (you may be safe if you do just the Athena Widgets). -- stripes@eng.umd.edu "Security for Unix is like Josh_Osborne@Real_World,The Mutitasking for MS-DOS" "The dyslexic porgramer" - Kevin Lockwood "Don't try to change C into some nice, safe, portable programming language with all sharp edges removed, pick another language." - John Limpert
