[comp.unix.aux] Can't run X11R4 on SE/30

blitz@nodename.dec.com (Marty Blitz) (09/19/90)

This weekend, I installed A/UX 2.0 and X11R4 on my SE/30.  I configured
the system with:

# newconfig bnet

but when I try to start X windows from the console it just sits there for
a few seconds, then clears the screen.  When I type out debug.log, this
is what it contains:

# cat debug.log
Getting interface configuration: Can't assign requested address


Fatal server bug!
ioctl I_STR VIDEO_MAP_SLOT failed
giving up.
xinit:  Connection refused (errno 81):  unable to connect to X server
#

If I configure with nonet, I get a message about no sockets avalable.

My SE/30 is stand-alone, with no ethernet, and no appletalk devices.

I built X11R4 with gcc, and the log had no errors.

Any ideas?

Yes.  My guess is that you did not run the "fixincludes" script supplied
with gcc.  This is needed to so that the ioctl calls will work.  I think
the binary distribution of gcc from wuarchive.wustl.edu has a "fixed" 
version of gcc-include...

Am I right?

I applied the patches from apple.com and from wuarchive, built and installed
gcc before building X11R4. Is there something more I have to do? I can't get
the binary from wuarchive because FTP says its too big.

p.s. my  apologies  on  a  previous reply which had the wrong subject. I had
been trying for an hour to get a followup message out, and the server
kept refusing.  By the time I got things to functions, I had messed up
the message.
