- Hi,
-
- The other day I brought my machine down to put a surge protector on it. When I
- brought it back up, I was getting checksum errors and an "Illegal instruction"
- message from the boot program. I fooled around with a couple of options but
- none worked so I bit the bullet and re-installed the operating system. Well,
- that's not the whole story. I installed Solaris 1.0.1 (I previously had
- SunOS 4.1.1 but decided now's as good a time as any to upgrade ) and then
- remembered that I've also a seperate IPX CD that made a specialized kernel so I
- loaded that. Now I have a OS 4.1.1 kernel while all my system files were loaded
- from the OS 4.1.2 CD. I don't know if this makes a difference or not (you would
- never tell it just by moving around the system). The big problem I have though
- is trying to run openwindows. The way I had things set up before was that
- I NFS mounted the entire /usr/openwin directory off of a local machine (I
- only have the 207Mb Sun disk). It worked very well before my recent disaster
- but now, after I've got my machine up and running, when I do a
-
- % /usr/openwin/bin/openwin
-
- I get the following error messages:
-
- ld.so: libsunwindow.so.0: not found
- giving up.
- /usr/openwin/bin/xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
-
- Here's what my setenv looks like:
-
- HOME=/home/jim
- SHELL=/bin/csh
- TERM=sun
- USER=jim
- PATH=.:/home/jim:/usr/local/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin:/usr/etc:/usr/lib:/usr/lang:/home/jim/bin:/sol_home/stuff/bin
- LOGNAME=jim
- PWD=/home/jim
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/openwin/lib
- OPENWINHOME=/usr/openwin
- WPTERM51=gui_color
- TAPE=/dev/rwd0
-
- Also, when I do a trace of the whole thing, I can gleen little from it.
-
- I've determined that libsunwindow.so.0.53 is kept in /usr/openwin/lib/server.
- So I made a link from libsunwindow.so.0 to it but to no avail.
-
- Damn.
-
- Can some kind and knowledgeable Sun person give me some guidence? I'm at
- wit's end here.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Jim
