Hello all, In a bout of nostalgia for SunOS, I set up Xview and olwm at home yesterday. olwm came up OK, but there was a problem with the library. I was wondering whether anyone else has this problem. In a cmdtool, a full screen program such as vi will kill the cmdtool with an error messages: (null): undefined symbol "_cfree" called from \ cmdtool:/usr/X11R6/lib/libxview.so.3.2 at 0x8121710 (line wrapped by me). the TERMCAP seems to be picked up ok. Also, (possibly related?) when I tried to su (to root) the window just hung (no input accepted). Just starting shelltool gave the same _cfree error message as above (the window never appeared). It also complained: "Make sure that you can write /var/run/utmp!" on every invocation of cmdtool. Just to be sure, I did a pkg_delete on all the xview stuff and installed the package instead of compiling the port as I had done originally; same problem. This on a 486DX33 with 2.2 and XFree86 3.3.1 (36MB memory, plenty of disk space, 64MB of swap, /tmp mounted on MFS). Anyone have any ideas? TIA, Bud Dodson PS, no I don't plan to run olwm all the time. -- M. L. Dodson bdodson@scms.utmb.edu 409-772-2178 FAX: 409-772-1790
