Hi I'm not sure that this is the right group, nevertheless...

I'm trying to get xgif to work on an HP 300 system.  xgif is a colour gif
viewer for x windows.  It runs only on colour workstations with at least 8
bits-per-pixel.  I got what I assume to be the latest version of the sources
(patch level 1) and it compiles ok, but when I run it it reads the gif file,
creates a destination window, zaps the colour map (if I told it to), but then
falls over when it is about to draw the image.  The error reported is a failure
in XPutImage (bad parameters or somesuch thing).  Has anyone got a gif viewer
working on an HPUX system?  Anyone care to suggest what might be wrong.  As a
newcomer to X windows stuff (I use the Mac much more...) I only have limited
experience with X Windows and this error has got me beat!

Thanks
