I am attempting to compile/port X11R4 on an Intel IPSC hypercube. The host machine is running ATT System V/386 Ver 3.2. I have managed to get all of the libraries and clients to compile, but when I run them, it tells me it can't find the file /usr/X/lib/Xconnections. I hunted it down to mit/lib/Xlib/Xstreams.c where this file name is rather hard coded in. I am not, however, fluent in system V to understand what the use of this file is for, or parse it's function from the code. (I am a socket man myself !). Would some SYSV hack please give me a hand here. Thanks.. Guy -- look.... even a test signature.....

(I am a The Xconnections file "manages the outgoing remote displays". The file should look something like this: Display_Name Host_Name NetSpec This will allow the clients on your host machine to connect to the specified "Display_Name" on the specified remote "Host_Name" using the specified network type "NetSpec". You probably have tcp/ip installed, in which case you need NetSpec = tcp. You could also use "*" for the Display_Name and Host_Name fields in which case it will direct "ALL" connection requests to use the specified network type. --enjoy-- -Jigish
