[comp.windows.x] problem for building R4 for PS2 AIX 1.1 ...

TRANLE@INTELLICORP.COM (Minh Tran-Le) (01/07/90)

Actually the server build ok. But when you run the Xibm server it lock
up the screen and dump core.

Did anybody sucessfully built the X11R4 server for the ps2 aix 1.1.
I was already running the ibm's R3 server, do I have to configure
anything (devices or kernel) to be able to run the mit's R4 server ?

Thanks, Tran-Le.

I just got it running.  The original configuration I used had "HasNdbm"
defined.  This made it dump core when it opened the color database (dbm on
the PS/2 AIX is not ndbm).  I put this in site.def as a fix:

	#if defined(HasNdbm)
	#undef HasNdbm
	#endif
	#ifdef PS2Architecture
	#define HasNdbm		NO
	#else
	#define HasNdbm		YES
	#endif
