Yes, I'm back again, with more problems of patch10 under sunos411 ;-)
1. Firstly dynamic loading under sunos. I can't quite see how it
does it, but that's fine by me. Unfortunately, if the user has the
environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH set (at our site, many users
set this for where to find openwindows libraries: they are installed
in a non-standard place), then the dynamic loading does not work:
beauty% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib
beauty% runapp -d helpapp -d
dlopen: stub interception failed
Abort
Trying to add $(ANDREWDIR)/dlib/atk into the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
doesn't fix it and I can't see how the loading is working, so I
can't think of anything else. Help!
2. Invoking spell under ez gives a core dump. I don't have a
debugging version built yet, so I can't give more info. We have
ispell installed (/usr/local/bin/ispell). No message is printed. It
just dies. The same thing happened with the compile object. I
rebuilt all the objects in 'atk/extensions' with debugging,
reinstalled the objects and both compile and spell work fine....
They just break when built without debugging.
3. Requesting the function compchar-compose returns "Could not load
procedure" This happens whether compchar is built with debugging or
not. Don't know how to fix this.
4. When built with the definition to use the standard ISO fonts as
opposed to the andrew supplied fonts, the icons (for example as used
by messages) are not available. After manually invoking 'mkfontdir'
on the X11fonts directory, this was fixed.
5. Everything else seems to work! :-)
