- You probably grabbed the sources from export.lcs.mit.edu.
- The problem is that in both example programs XtOpenDisplay()
- is called with one of the parameters illegally set to NULL (sorry,
- I don't remember exactly which one, but think it's app_context).
- Read the man page for XtOpenDisplay(), call it correctly, and
- you should be ok.
