I'm having problems bringing up "clx" on the Explorer.
Disclaimer:
I make no pretense as to my knowing what I'm doing.
Background:
running 4.1
ftp'ed the latest version (clx.tar.Z) from ucbarpa.berkeley.edu
set up the ".translations" and ".system" files
So far there are two problems:
(a) during the "make-system" I receive the following error
Compiling CLX: CLX; MANAGER.LISP#>
<< While compiling WM-SIZE-HINTS-WIN-GRAVITY >>
Undefined type specifier WIN_GRAVITY in (OR NULL WIN_GRAVITY)
<< While compiling ENCODE-WM-SIZE-HINTS >>
Undefined type specifier WIN_GRAVITY in (OR NULL WIN_GRAVITY)
Undefined type specifier WIN_GRAVITY in (OR NULL WIN_GRAVITY) - #1
(b) if I ignore the above problem and try to run the "hello-world"
[i.e., (hello-world "lm")] demo supplied in the PUBLIC directory,
I get this error
>>Error: connection reset
While in the function IP::HANDLER-SYN-SENT IP::PROCESS-RECEIVE-Q
IP::DRIVE-CONNECTION
Debugger entered while in the following function:
IP::HANDLER-SYN-SENT (P.C. = 128)
This appears to be coming from the "open-display" function.
Any pointers as to what I (or the system) may be doing wrong would be
greatly appreciated.
thanks,
paul

I'd bet this isn't the case, since I don't think TI has delivered (nor announced) the server as a product yet. The way that most of us use CLX on an TI-Explorer/Symbolics is to run the server on a unix box (hopefully with its console next to you) and start CLX-based applications up on the LISPM and display them on the unix machine.

The fix is simple -- just change the instance of "win_gravity" in manager.cl to "win-gravity". -- John Irwin jdi@franz.com

It is currently in the last stages of beta-test and will be delivered as a fully supported Explorer product in the near future. Dan Stenger Texas Instruments Computer Science Center stenger@csc.ti.com
