Hi, This is on a DECstation-3100. I configured X11R4 such that everything falls under a single directory, /usr/local/X11 ( making it easy to export ). My app-defaults directory is in /usr/local/X11/lib/X11/app-defaults I used the following defines in site.conf #define BinDir /usr/local/X11/bin #define UsrLibDir /usr/local/X11/lib #define IncRoot /usr/local/X11/include #define AdmDir /usr/local/X11/adm My problem is that e.g. appres doesn't find resources in that directory, but *does* find them in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults. An example follows. I compiled appress using: cc -o appres appres.o -O -Wf,-XNh2000 -Olimit 2000 -L/usr/local/X11/lib -lXt -lXext -lX11 so the X11R4 version of libXt.a should be include. I determined that the problem was that lib/Xt/IntrinsicI.h defines XFILESEARCHPATH with /usr/lib/X11 hard-coded, instead of using the definition of UsrLibDir given above. Searching through the Imake directory doesn't show an easy way to over-ride this. It doesn't appear get set in the lib/Xt/Makefile. Any clues? Should I simply change it by hand?

I determined that the problem was that lib/Xt/IntrinsicI.h defines
XFILESEARCHPATH with /usr/lib/X11 hard-coded, instead of using the
definition of UsrLibDir given above.
This bug was listed in the ERRATA file (along with a bogus fix).
Should I simply change it by hand?
That's probably the easiest thing to do.cmb@cs.mu.oz.au (Craig Brown) (01/10/90)
Sorry cant talk long... too busy the easiest way is to make a link to the directory you want to put the app-defs in and call the directory /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults or whatever it is called! This way the version of X remains consistant with the documentation By the way I am trying to work out how to make two windows open up on different displays and I am using the X Toolkit The problem is each time I do it - by opening to displays , the two displays seem to interact with each other, ie. one gets the background color of the other, or no background color at all for example. A solution ASAP would be much appreciated. Craig Brown (cmb@munmurra.cs.mu.OZ.AU) Melbourne University (Australia)
