Hi
Got my new machine (orca) and started to migrate programs from the old
(dolphin). So far I've run into two problems - maybe unrelated - but both has
to du with
X.
1: ncview is a very nice utility to browse netcdf-files
(cirrus.ucsd.edu:/pub/ncview). I'm able to compile, although I've to do a
little with the Makefile produced by xmkmf (Xaw header files not found). When I
try to run ncview I get to see a glimse of the main menu and then the following
is written:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
Serial number of failed request: 169
Current serial number in output stream: 254
If I move the executable to dolphin then it works and if I take the executable
from dolphin and moves to orca I get the same error.
2: I have a demo version of IDL. It is installed on orca. If I type idl and
then demo at the prompt I get:
IDL> demo
% Embedded IDL: Research Systems, Inc., IDL Demo.
% Restored file: DEMO.
% Unsupported X Windows visual (class: PseudoColor, depth: 8).
Substituting default (class: TrueColor, Depth: 16).
% Array has a corrupted descriptor: <No name>.
% Execution halted at: DEMOSPLASHSTART
% DEMO
% $MAIN$
IDL> Segmentation fault
If I do the same on dolphin which have /usr/local mounted from orca I can run
the demo.
Any help will be apreciated.

PS: I found the following on the XFree86 FAQ:
Q.E5- Why does the server quit with the error xf86OpenConsole: cannot
open /dev/console on Linux?
There is a problem with the /dev/console device file. As root, you can run
these commands to fix
it:
cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV console
It might solve some of the troubles people have hat with this, at least it did
for me.
