- This is an addendum to an earlier posting. I am restating my problem.
-
-
- I have Xlib based applications which I port to different architectures
- (sun4, rs/6000, ultrix, hp-ux, dg-aviion, etc.). I am having difficulty
- porting it to the SG-irix.
-
- The problem (simplified) is:
-
- My application, together with my libraries compiles fine on the SG
- (IRIX Release 4.0.5F System V). If I rlogin to the SG from a different
- machine, and run the SG-compiled-application off the SG but display it
- on the remote machine, things are fine.
-
- But I cannot run AND display the SG-compiled-application on the SG.
- It crashes on X(Load)QueryFont() with a bus error.
-
- If I have the sun4-compiled-application run off the sun4, but display
- on the SG, it crashes at the very same point, with an error
- "BadAlloc: insufficient resources".
-
- I tried this with various other applications (all XLib-based) with
- the very same crash at the same point. In each case, XLoadFont() goes
- through allright. XQueryFont() does not. XLoadQueryFont() does not.
-
- ***
- My first guess is that the problem lies with the Xsgi. Probably I need
- to configure it in a different way, or am missing something.
-
- Any help is greatly appreciated, since the deadline is approaching fast.
