As a work around, you can always set the DXHOST environment variable.
Look at that for starters.

Okay, I have added "baal" as a 2nd alias after "baal.amalekite.net" in
my /etc/hosts so that I now only get...
ERROR - Connection to server baal failed - Error during initialization.
...and not any other connection error. I can do this...
baal: {1} ping -c 1 baal
PING baal.amalekite.net (192.168.0.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.155 ms
----baal.amalekite.net PING Statistics----
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.155/0.155/0.155/0.000 ms
baal: {2}
...so it's nothing to do with /etc/hosts. Yet all my other X programs
work as befofe. Is there some log in OpenDX which would tell me what
to look for next? why it fails to connect?
TIA

Machine "baal" is the same as localhost. The /etc/hosts file
lists it as baal.amalekite.net but I can add "baal", of course.
It had always connected before as localhost. All of my other
X utilities, blackbox, IceWM, mozilla, thunderbird, NEdit,
Sodipodi etc, etc...all work fine.

Your machine (baal) is not in /etc/hosts?

I made an oops in the first report.
Under the window which says...
ERROR -- Connection to server baal failed -- Error during initialization.
...is another window which says...
ERROR -- Unable to resolve baal, connecting locally.
...it never used to say...
ERROR -- Connection to server baal failed -- Connecting locally
...I had just misremembered that part. I have also attached my
XFree86 log if that is informative.
TIA

I just upgraded my PC with a new Intel D875PBZ motherboard, a
3.2GHz P4 and 4 GB RAM. The sad part is that the upgrade cost a
fortune and I did it ONLY for OpenDX. And so far as I can tell,
OpenDX is the only program
that is having a problem with it....or so it seems.
Everything EXCEPT OpenDX continues to work as before. But on
running a program in OpenDX I now get this error...
Connection to server baal failed - Error during initialization
...whereas I had used to get...
Connection to server baal failed - Connecting locally
...and it would just work.
I have just uninstalled/reinstalled OpenDX on my NetBSD
1.6.2_RC4 box to no better result. It does the same.
What to do next???
Thanks,
Gan
