- I have attempted to install OW3 on an IPC running 4.1.1b, but
- get an xinit error: can't contact server errno(2)
- when it is invoked. I have tried manually starting xnews,
- using :0 or unix:0 as the display. This generates a "bus err".
-
- Openwin-init and .Xauthority ARE created in the login directory,
- the OW2 stuff having been removed ( .xinitrc, etc).
- /usr/openwin IS a symbolic link, but the paths seem to be resolved
- without problems.
-
- There was an OSpatch in $OW~/lib, which said it was for 4.1.1,
- which installed successfully.
-
- OW3 installed and worked fine on an IPX running 4.1.2 ( other than psh ).
- What have I forgotten/overlooked?
- Thanks in advance!
