[comp.windows.x] Host selection

lmjm@doc.imperial.ac.UK (07/19/89)

I've had some odd problems selecting hosts.  I eventually tracked it
down to using a version of X windows compiled on one machine in the
department and then shipped over as a set of binaries.  The source
machine didn't have Yellow Pages but the target did and so X programs
were not able to look up hosts.

The solution:

The problems with using the display option in X-windows applications was traced
to not having Ultr*x 3.0 libraries available on my workstation.  The compiler 
however managed to locate some old libraries and used those instead. So all
the standard X functions worked apart from XOpenDisplay().

Thanks to all those who helped.
