- I'm pulling my hair out trying to get X11R5 installed. I could list 10
- problems with my installation right now. I don't know which of these
- are the serious ones and which are minor.
-
- I got the code (which I couldn't get my SPARC to compile) from an ftp
- site. Then I got compiled code from a cdrom which doesn`t seem to be
- complete ( configuration files are missing ).
-
- The docs and READMEs are no help. For one thing the information
- seems to be scattered amoung various files.
-
- Is there anywhere I can get clear, concise instructions on how to
- install X11R5 on a Sun SPARC?
-
- I've seen the ads for Ready To Run software (co) and am almost ready
- to plop down my $300. It's cost me easily that much in time so far.
-
- Has anyone ever used them? Are they worth the extra $?
-
- thanks
