i want to report a problem [possible bug ??] but i cannot find an e-mail
address to send it to. i cannot send it via netscape to the bug web-site so i
am sending it to you. if you are not the correct person perhaps you copuld
send it on to the person who is. thsnks !!
basically i have built an application with lesstif under redhat 6.2 [but i had to make
some library fixes] and it works on redhat. when i connect to the redhat system via
telnet
from an sgi indy i get a core dump which seems to have a problem in 'Vendor.c [source
not
available].
here is what i did
1) have redhat 6.2
2) installed lesstif from this file
magics:/usr1/jhamilton/raw_lesstif=> ls -ltr
total 3540
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jhamilto 200 24160 Aug 17 12:35 INSTALL.html
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jhamilto 200 3593985 Aug 17 12:35
lesstif-0.90.0-linux-libc5.tar.gz
magics:/usr1/jhamilton/raw_lesstif=>
3) i put everything into /usr1/jhamilton/lesstif
4) i set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point there [i am running c-shell]
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $HOME/lesstif/LessTif/Motif2.0/lib
5) i build my application with the following libraries [i get the same problems with
Motif1.2]
magics:/usr1/jhamilton/plotxw=> plotxw.t
gcc -c -g -I/usr1/jhamilton/lesstif/LessTif/Motif2.0/include plotxc.c

6) initially i could not find libc.so.5 so i copied libc.so.6 into the ../Motif2.0/lib
directory and
called it libc.so.
7) when i run it on my linux pc everything works
8) if i telnet from another linux pc everything works
9) the problems start when i telnet from an sgi workstation [i have tried it with indy
running old version of irix but also with O2 running current version]
10) when i run the job starts; something flashes on screen; then i get core dump
east:/east=> telnet magics

11) the program plotxw takes the file try.cal containign plot vectors
and displays it on the screen. it has been running successfull for a few yaers on
sgi and ultrix systems with motif. also it worked on caldera linux with redhat
motif.
