- Hello,
-
- We recently installed MIT's X11R5 on an SGI Crimson running IRIX 4.0.4.
- We wanted to run chooser from the Crimson on several NCD X-terminals.
- For some strange reason, the chooser program does not get built on System V
- machines, including IRIX. We settled for running chooser from a Sparc machine
- and getting the Crimson to list as one of the XDM hosts.
- Has anyone successfully built a running X11R5 chooser under IRIX ?
-
- This is probably for someone at SGI (but not only ...):
- before installin we moved all relevant R4 directories aside
- (like /usr/bin/X11, /usr/lib/*X*, /usr/include/X11), thus losing the
- ability to run CodeVision, 4Dwm, gl_osview and the like (missing shared
- library).
- Any ideas on how these programs might coexist with the X11R5 installation ?
-
- Thanks in advance for any information.
