Greets!!
I decided to try and get some things going under X but I ran into some
problems.
I cannot get xv, xload, xlander, and xantfarm to work. First I will give
you my setup
97.pl1 and X11v1.1
I have an ATI VGA Wonder card and I am using Rik Faith's EXCELLENT X386 for
ATI cards.
gcc 2.2.2d and the libraries from 2.2.2
xv problems:
I can compile xv no problem using the -V 2.2.2 option. When I try to run xv,
root /usr/new/xv $ ./xv 2> error
the machine locks up and I get a core file. Nothing in error
Doing
root /usr/new/xv $ gdb

(gdb)
Any Ideas?
xload problems:
I try to compile xload with the -V 2.2.2 option, but I get
root /usr/new/xload $ make
gcc -fwritable-strings -V 2.2.2 -O6 -DFUNCPROTO=11 -DNARROWPROTO -DOSMAJORVERSION=0 -DOSMINORVERSION=12 -c xload.c -o xload.o
gcc -fwritable-strings -V 2.2.2 -O6 -DFUNCPROTO=11 -DNARROWPROTO -DOSMAJORVERSION=0 -DOSMINORVERSION=12 -c get_load.c -o get_load.o
rm -f xload
gcc -fwritable-strings -V 2.2.2 -o xload xload.o get_load.o -O6 -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11
get_load.o: Undefined symbol _open_psdb referenced from text segment
get_load.o: Undefined symbol _k_addr referenced from text segment
get_load.o: Undefined symbol _close_psdb referenced from text segment
get_load.o: Undefined symbol _kmemread referenced from text segment
make: *** [xload] Error 1
I am guessing that this means that the xload I have is for a different version
of the kernel. where would I get one that will work for 97.pl1 ?
xlander problems:
I can compile it with -V 2.2.2, but running it locks up my computer.
I redirect stderr to a file with no results.
I don't get a core file, or anything that would be helpful. Any guesses
would be appreciated.
xantfarm problems:
I can compile xantfarm once again using the -V 2.2.2 option, but when I try
to run it I get
root /usr/new/antfarm $ ./xantfarm 2> error
zsh: illegal instruction (core dumped) ./xantfarm
root /usr/new/antfarm $ gdb

At least this did not lock up my computer, and once again, nothing in error
Well, I guess I am doing something wrong because this problem seems to be
a recurring one. I have, however, compiled xlife and xpipeman with no
problems and xtetris, xboard, xvier and most other things do work. I
hope someone can give me a clue as to what I am doing wrong.
Thank you for any help you can give me,
Drew Hobson
