Another PLea for HELP !!!!!!! ______________________________ I use HP toolkit for my aplication which works fine on both Shared X and Sun 3(including Sun 3x) architectures which are all based on 68XXX. However, I recently tried compling the application on a Sun4. The HP toolkit and the widget set compiled allright. The application also compiled without any problem. But when executed the toolkit broke down. I was trying to do the follow: 1. I create the the toplevel widget and initialized the toolkit 2. I create VPane widget as the child of toplevel. 3. Step 1 and get executed OK but if try to create any child(ren) of the Vpaned widget I get an error in the toolkit. The error, after evaluating the core dump tells me that the code broke down during the Parsing of the translations. I am afraid since I do not have a sun4 available to me, I can not list out the exact error messges. Has anybody in the ether run into a problem like this before. HP toolkit and Sun4 is a strange combination but I believe some guru has done it before. If you have any suggestions, please email to me and/or post on the net. Even wild ideas are welcome. I shall be spending my X Mas on a borrowed Sun trying to hack this problem. So have pity and .......

The error, after evaluating the core dump tells me that the code broke down during the Parsing of the translations. We've found that various version of the SunOS optimizer will break the R3 version of lib/Xt/TMparse.o, producing symptoms very like what you describe. Try re-building this one module w/o optimization.
