Is there any distribution of "xrn" that will compile AND link on my RS/6000. I got the lates Distribution from shambhala.berkeley.edu (xrn6-15.tar.Z) but it seems that my libX, libXm, asf. miss some stuff. I compiled the Program with (X11) R3 defined/undefined MOTIF defined/undefined but all ended with compile/link errors. The best result was defining R3 and MOTIF, which gave the following result: 0706-317 ERROR: Unresolved or undefined symbols detected ... .XmListGetSelectedPos .XmListReplaceItemsPos .XmListAddItems .XmListItemPos .XawTextDisableRedisplay .XawTextEnableRedisplay .XtCallActionProc .XmTextInsert .XmTextSetCursorPosition So what version of xrn and AIX (libX, libXm,...) do I need to get it working ? Thanks, H.

No problems at all. Of course, one has to edit out these BSD type function declaration like extern char *malloc() etc in src. As a Stanford guy, I am more than happy to eliminate such Berkeley stuff :-) I have either built (ie, just xmkmf and then make) or ported (src hacking too) most well known and some not so well known contributed clients using these R4 libs/includes without too much troubles. Before IBM provides us a *real* R4 X, I guess this is the way to go for the near future. Remember you get X11R4 standard clients, color database, and fonts at the same time too. No server however :-( A few examples: kterm, xpostit, xrn, xnlock, xrlogin, xsh, xshowcmap, xtetris, SeeTeX, xwebster, dclock, hexcalc, xcalendar, xinfo, xcolors, xdiary, xdir, xfig, xless, tvtwm, acm 2.3 .. and more. All built using R4 libs/includes. So RISC 6000 is not that bad. Hope the info helps. Regards, Chin Fang Mechanical Engineering Department Stanford University fangchin@leland.stanford.edu PS. One open question however is when IBM can provide RISC 6000 users X11R4?

I tried the same thing a few days ago, but xrn keeps exiting with malloc and calloc errors. It seems to be a problem in the X11R4 libraries.

I got xrn6-15 built without any modifications whatsoever to the code other than the customary config/custom.h. I also built it with Motif widgets. As far as I can remember the only thing that I had to change was the Makefile to add -lXm to it. eliot

It runs fine. Ok, it runs fine most of the time now, but I had to get rid of all the "#override"'s in the accelerators and translations in the XRn.ad file shipped with 6.15. This file can be added to your .Xdefaults file. Since they're there, there must be some X11R4 implementation somewhere in the world where these things worked. The one it's developed on, perhaps? So what am I missing in the standard MIT distribution with MIT fix 1-18 applied? I really would like to know, because posting news still causes this malloc error to show up. I have to use rn for that... -- Regards, Herbert van den Bergh hbergh@oracle.com Oracle Europe or uunet!oracle!hbergh
