- I am working on a system "IRIX Release 4.0.5F System V"
- and am trying to port my application(s) to a SG Indigo workstation.
- The application(s) is completely based on Xlib (-lX11).
-
- Problem:
- It compiles but does not run. Specifically, it fails in
- XQueryFont() with a BUS error. I have the same application
- running on sun4, RS/6000, Ultrix, ... I cannot make these
- run on the SG display and crash at the same XQueryFont() with a
- BadAlloc error.
-
-
- The application is refused a XOpenDisplay() when I try to run the
- SG compiled version on another remote display. However I can run
- other SG X-based applications (like xclock) on the remote display
- without problem. I tried these with different Xlib-based applications,
- and they crash at the same point.
-
-
- What I suspect is that the Xsgi needs to be started in a different
- way, and/or there is a *special* version of Xlib (libX11.a) somewhere
- which I must use.
-
- Any pointers are appreciated.
