after many hours of labor, this graduate student of computer science finally got an xserver up on the local sun 3/50's in my lab. then, after spending long and treacherous hours reading the o'reilly xlib programming manual cover-to-cover, i'm ready to start hacking clients. now i'm up against a really stupid snag, but i can't get past it. i'm putting in the o'reilly "basicwin" program, but it really won't get past the XOpenDisplay call. it compiles and links fine, but no go. i know this sounds trite, but anybody had similar problems and solved 'em? ( by the way, it can connect to neither UNIX:0.0, nor MARILYN:0.0 - i.e. an unset DISPLAY environment variable, and one which is set, respectively ) woodward@uicbugs.cba.uic.edu
