The >compiled server in X11R4bin.tar.Z only has streams support, not TCP/IP. I have managed to compile and link most of the stuff with TCP/IP support. Almost all the problems I mentioned earlier in this group were solved by using stock gcc rather than one modified for use with gas. There are still some problems left, though: Xdm will not compile. It depends on , which is not on my system. I'm using ISC Unix 2.0.2 with TCP/IP 1.2. When I start the server, "Getting interface configuration: invalid argument" is displayed, just before it goes to graphics mode. This message turns out to come from mit/server/os/4.2bsd/access.c, which does an ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) that fails. TCP/IP connections do not work. When I do an "xterm -display localhost:0", ps shows there is a process, and netstat shows there is a connection, yet no window appears. I had to add "-linet" to ExtraLoadFlags in mit/config/at386.cf. The comments indicate this would only be necessary when using non-shared libraries. This confuses me. Did I do the right thing? Otherwise, everything works just like in the binary distribution. Every help concerning these matters is greatly appreciated. -- Pim Zandbergen domain : pim@cti-software.nl CTI Software BV uucp : uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ctisbv!pim Laan Copes van Cattenburch 70 phone : +31 70 3542302 2585 GD The Hague, The Netherlands fax : +31 70 3512837
