I have been having problems getting programs to run that use the Xt library. I am using a Sparcstation 1 running SunOS 4.0.3 and the R4 server which was compiled with cc. The library is a shared library, and none of the other X libraries seem to be giving me any problems. The problem I am having is that I get the error message: ld.so: call to undefined procedure __GetHostname from 0xf776a96c The address it gives never changes and is the same on all of the Sparc's here, and a Solbourne 5/600. I have traced the problem as far as a call to XtRealizeWidget, but haven't dug into that routine to see where the problem is. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, did you get it fixed? Is it a problem only with the SS1, or is it in all of the different flavors? -- Brett McCoy | Never underestimate the bandwith of brtmac@ksuvm.bitnet | a stationwagon driving down the brtmac@maverick.ksu.ksu.edu | highway.

Have you perhaps installed the OpenWindows version of the shared libX in /usr/lib, or do you run with LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to the OpenWindows lib directory? I got the same complaint, about the same routine, from many of the X11R4 clients when I first built them with shared libraries on my SparcStation. It turned out I'd forgotten to unsetenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which pointed at the *OpenWindows* shared libraries, and so I was getting binaries that tried to mix R4 shared libraries with OpenWindows shared libraries at runtime. The internal implementation details of the two systems are such that this doesn't work. I unsetenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH and removed any stray links in /usr/lib that pointed to OpenWindows libraries, and relinked all my clients. Voila! All the __GetHostname complaints vanished... This raises the whole issue of what software vendors (like us) are going to have to do to cope with different vendors' shared X libraries. I'd love to ship my X11-based products dynamically linked, but does this mean I have to have two complete sets of products, one for MIT's shared libs and another for Sun's, and rely on the customer to know which one he really needs? Ugh... -- Matt Landau Broken lover, you can touch me, mlandau@bbn.com In the dark the innocent can't see.

I had my LD_LIBRARY_PATH still set from running OpenWindows and the Openwindows X11 shared libraries were being used instead of the X11R4 shared libraries that the program was compiled with. Try unsetting your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and recompiling if this is your problem. Tom Pusateri National Biomedical Simulation Resource Duke University Medical Center pusateri@nbsr.duke.edu
