I tried writing a gif image using dxui/dxexec and the server disconnects so you are right about the inability to write a gif image being the cause of the problem I am having with JavaDX. The disconnect happens both when I select gif file and when I select ImageMagick supported format from the "Save Image" option in the file menu of the Image window.
I have installed the Irix 6.5 OpenDX 4.0.10 binaries and ImageMagick v5.1 which I ftped from ftp://ftp/wizards.dupont.com as instructed in the README file. ImageMagick is installed in /usr/local. OpenDX is installed in /usr/local/dx. The README file indicates that DX for Irix 6.5 was built to use ImageMagick. Is there something else I need to do to make OpenDX use ImageMagick? thanks for your help on this, Jeff and Pete, Susan --- "Peter D.

I suspect that the problem is not with javadx at all, I think dxexec is coredumping trying to write a gif. To rule this out, I propose that Susan attempt to write (WriteImage) a gif from a simple net using dxui/dxexec . In the past, the inability of ImageMagick enabled OpenDX to write gifs has been successfully addressed by make clean && make && make install in src/exec . --- end of quote ---
