This is a followup to this old message. I have made no progress with
the Windoze opendx 4.1.3. Same behavior as 4.1.1.
Run Editor.bat, UI starts up OK, and X (I think) puts up a dialog
saying "Connection to server localhost has been queued." and no exec
starts up. I tried starting the exec by hand (Connect to Server from
the UI which does start) and tried starting on the machine's name
rather than localhost. Doesn't matter, just says it is "queued".
So, I modified the Editor.bat to an Exec.bat with the key command "dx
-execonly" followed by a "pause" so I could catch the error in the
command window. That reads:
Starting DX executive
Press any key to continue... Error during initialization
getmem can't commit memory
cannot initialize DX library
This is a freshly installed DX 4.1.3 (non-cygwin version), done by
simply running the installer. I also had to explicitly remove the
4.1.1 version since the installer wouldn't let me proceed until I did.
I have Exceed 3D 6.2.0.0 installed and working (it auto-starts when
you start Editor.bat).
This was a dual 300 CPU Dell 410 but we pulled one of the CPUs to see
if it was a multiprocessor problem. Same exact behavior, though I
haven't got around to putting the CPU back in, so it's currently
single. Some older version of OpendDX a few revs back worked OK on
this machine under NT, though we have "up"graded this machine to
Win2K since then.
Any more ideas? localhost is in fact defined as mentioned below.
David, did you encounter anything like this with your commercial build?
Hey, if your version works, tell me how much and we'll buy one. The
natives are getting restless and asking me about "Iris Explorer"
since it runs native in Windows. Aaakk! Gag me with a spoon!
This is pretty damn frustrating and I blame it entirely on M$ since
it works fine on SGI.
Could be dll incompability too. I think dxexec is dying behind the scene
therefore you are getting this error of queing. Can you froma DOS shell
uses dexec, without UI?

OK helpful hint I would not have known, but in fact there is a host
file in that dir
and the only entry is
127.0.0.1 localhost
so we're still baffled.
