- Hi, I'm new to the SGI world and am trying to get some basic
- services built for an Elan and a 480GTXB. I've had success building
- several X11-based packages for them, but my build for xrn6-17beta
- is punting.
-
- A number of widgets are not being found at linking time. The list is
- fairly long, and I won't include them here. Some of them I found
- described in the man pages, and I presume I could find more if I
- looked diligently. I haven't found many hints as to the problem.
- If you've succeeded in building this, did you have to change a
- library name in the makefile? What did you do to succeed?
- And if you've also failed to complete the build, was it because
- xrn wants some subroutines that aren't available with IRIX 4.0.4?
-
- Lest ye ask, I'd prefer to use xrn than one of the other news readers
- presently, largely because I'm too unfamiliar with the SGIs to try to
- build nntp yet, and I understand that xrn doesn't require nntp.
-
- Thanks
