Hi Netters, I hope this isn't a faq. We are the proud new owners of a personal iris with an X server. We've tried to build a couple of X clients and we find that we can't link them. Or sgi rep tells us that it's another $500 to get the X development kit which contains all the stuff you need to build clients. My question is then: Can we build the libraries from the mit distribution and install those? Are there any pitfalls in doing this that people have discovered. If this is so do we need to build the entire distribution, is it so much worse than the stuff that comes bundled? For example, I notice the sgi xterm seems a bit flakier than the one we built for are Suns. If there's interest (and this hasn't been beaten to death already) I'll post responses. -- _______________________________________________________________________ | Bill Reynolds | bill@inls1.ucsd.edu
