-
- I suspect Sun will come out with something that will fix that problem,
- at some point.
-
- I suspect it'll be called "Open Windows 4.0".
-
- You will probably have the same problem if you try to run your
- dynamically-linked "old X11R5 clients" on any *other* flavor of X11R4,
- such as MIT X11R4; an "nm" of the MIT X11R4 "libXmu.a" *and*
- "libXmu.so.4.0" reveals no symbol named "_XmuNewCvtStringToWidget" in
- either of them. I suspect it was introduced in X11R5....
-
- I.e., the problem isn't that Sun's implementation of X11R4 is bad, it's
- that you're trying to run X11R5 clients on a machine with X11R4 shared
- libraries. You'll have to either:
-
- 1) statically-link the X11R5 clients on a machine with X11R5
- versions of the libraries;
-
- 2) install the X11R5 shared libraries on your machine, and
- arrange that your clients - or, at least, the X11R5 clients -
- link with *those* libraries rather than with the Open Windows
- or other X11R4-vintage libraries;
-
- 3) wait for Sun to come out with an X11R5-based Open Windows
- release (I suspect OW 4.0 will be X11R5-based, unless an
- X11R6 or later comes out in time for it).
