- I managed to get access to a computer that has USENET, so
- I have downloaded and built xrn, problem is I can't get
- it to work ... when I enter:
-
- xrn -nntpServer enh.nist.gov
-
- I get ...
-
- connect: Connection refused
- giving up ...
- Thu Sep 10 08:38:11 1992: Failed to reconnect to the NNTP server (server_init), sleeping...
-
- So I just control C out ... also, no window ever appears,
- which makes me wonder if I need to modify config.h (what
- modifications are commonly used?? (besides DOMAIN_NAME)).
-
- Installation is as follows:
-
- source: /usr/local/X11/xrn-617
- bin: /usr/local/bin/xrn -> /usr/local/bin/X11/xrn
- app-defs: /usr/local/lib/X11/app-defaults/XRn -> /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XRn
-
-
- All help greatly appreciated.
