- Dear OpenWindows Readers:
-
- I am running Solaris 1.1 (SunOS 4.1.3) on a SPARCstation IPX. I have
- compiled XView 3.0 under X11-R5 and have installed the new libraries in
- /fuj/files/X11R5/lib. My LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to the following string:
-
- /fuj/files/X11R5/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/lib
-
- In my path, reference to MIT clients at /usr/bin/X11 appears BEFORE those
- in /$OPENWINHOME. So, here is the problem: When I start OpenWindows from
- my .login file, I get the error
-
- window: Base frame not passed parent window in environment.
- Cannot create base frame. Process aborted.
-
-
- The section in my .login file that starts OpenWindows looks like this
-
- .
- .
- .
- setenv XINITRC ~/.xinitrc.ow3
- setenv $OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin
- $OPENWINHOME/bin/openwin
- .
- .
- .
-
- My ~/.xinitrc looks like this
-
- xmh &
-
- xbiff &
-
- cmdtool &
-
- clock &
-
- olwm
-
-
- I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong.
- Thanks in advance!
