Let me see if I understand your problem.

You have gotten the source to compile and you installed your compiled version. Then you type dx -uionly & and dx -execonly &. Connect the ui to the exec and it works. But if you type dx -edit, it never connects to the exec.

How about if you just do dx -uionly, go to the connect menu and then try and start a dx server? What is the error message? Are you willing to try and debug this with a debugger?

I tried the Solaris 2.6 binary on Solaris 8 on Ultra10 and 5 without
success. Then, I got and compiled the source. After some fiddling I got
it to compile. However, when I run the program, the dxexec server cannot
be started. The only way to get the program running is to start dxexec
first, then start the gui and then connect to the existing server. so
far, nobody on the list could help me figure out what the problem here
is. I would sure like to get this to run without having to start the
server manually.

 I downloaded the binary that was compiled for Sun Solaris 2.6. But, I
 am running Solaris 8 and am having problems getting the server to
 start. The error message is as follows:

 " Starting DX executive

 ... cannot get shared memory segment / failed on segment 1 of 1 needed
 segments / last call to shmget returned errno 22 cannot initialize DX
 library. "

 Any suggestions? Someone mentioned that Sun might have changed the
 shared memory calls for Solaris 8. Anyone developing for Solaris 8?

 Thanks,
