We just installed 3.2 and I was glad to see the X11 images on the
release tape. However, after installing all X11 images (manually)
I was surprised not to find any of the standard X11 development libraries
on the system. My question is, exactly what parts of X11 come bundled
with 3.2? Is it the server only, and no libraries, or are the libraries
supposed to be included?

In an effort to keep development on the Personal Iris (and other machines that dev kits are an option), SGI has elected to make the X window development kit for 3.2 a separate option. This should hopefully contain all the missing parts allowing X window development to take place. I can't answer you specific question at this time as we have yet to receive our X dev kits due to several ordering screw-ups. This btw, is a very annoying arrangement. I sincerely hope that someday SGI will realize that X sells more Irises and if people put in the money for development kits, they should get the X stuff by default. Ordering it seperately is really stupid (having to order dev kits in the first place is also questionable). --ams _________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Simms, System Manager Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics 218 Fine Hall, Washington Road ams@acm.princeton.edu Princeton, NJ 08544 609/258-5324 609/258-6227 609/258-1054 (fax)
