| I'm trying to bring up olwm from the OW 2.0 tape (but running
| on a vanilla X11R4 mit server on a Sun 3/60 w/ SunOS 4.0.3c),
| but I get the error:
| 
|      olgx Error:  Uninitialized ginfo

I believe this is caused by a mismatch between olwm and the olgx library
version that it is getting linked with.  Prior to the release of
OpenWindows 2.0, there were several versions of the olgx library that were
incompatible with each other.  If a program were built with one version of
the library and dynamically linked with a different version, this error
would result.  The shared library version number is supposed to prevent
this sort of mismatch, but it was incremented only for public releases of
the system (i.e. OpenWindows 1.0, OpenWindows 2.0).

Make sure you have OpenWindows Version 2 (not beta, not beta2, not the June
27th version or anything), or make sure you have an up-to-date copy of the
XView/olwm sources that were recently made available at MIT.
