- Perhaps I am just being stupid (wouldn't be the first time)
- but I am unable to get either XAPPLRESDIR or XUSERFILESEARCHPATH
- to work the way they are documented in the FAQ.
-
- For instance, I set XUSERFILESEARCHPATH to ./%N.ad:$HOME/%T/%N
- (and unset XAPPLRESDIR for what that's worth), put a file containing
- resources into ./Fred.ad and run my application "Fred", but.. no resources
- are seen. Ditto for a resource file in $HOME/app-defaults/Fred.
-
- The resources are picked up just fine when I use xrdb -merge ./Fred.ad
-
- This problem is not specific to applications I have written. I get the
- same behavior when specifying resources for, say, xterm.
-
- This is on X11R5, SUNOS 4.1.2, compiled with /bin/cc.
-
- What am I doing wrong????
-
- Thanks,
- Terry Jones (terry@santafe.edu)
