Subject: xdvi can't open display
I'm in the process of installing TeX/MF and have run into a problem with
the just-installed xdvi. When I type `xdvi foo.dvi' the machine comes
back with
Error: Can't open display: mfdd2.cims.nyu.edu:0.0
Looks trivial but it isn't: I have done `xhost +' on mfdd2 (which is the
Sparstation on my desk), and I can perfectly well open an xload window or
a ghostview window on this machine, just not an xdvi window. Any advice?
Installation details follow.
The programs that I am installing are web2c-6.1, dvipsk-5.58f and
xdvik-18f, with patches web2c.alloca.help and web2c-kpathsea-2.6.help.
The machine is an SGI Power Onyx running IRIX64 6.0.1. The paths are the
defaults, and I installed the texmf directory from lib-6.9 in /usr/local.
For compilation I used "cc -32" (32 bit pointers), which should make this
IRIX64 behave rather like an IRIX5.3 machine. It was found necessary to
set
#define NO_FOIL_X_WCHAR_T
in the file kpathsea-2.6/web2c/lib/c-auto.h; with that everything seemed
to make and install well.
