Hello, when I attempt to ssh to our IBM AIX machine from my office
(an SGI indigo2 box with IRIX 6.5) and run dx, I can run the dxui
front end, but if I then try to run, say the editor from there, it
complains that it cannot connect to dxexec.
However, if I ssh to the same account on the same machine, but this
time ssh FROM a different SGI (an Onyx running IRIX 6.5 in another
building, possibly another network subnet), I can run dx and then
spawn the dx editor as you would expect, with no troubles.
WHY OH WHY do I get this error from one box and not from the other?
This is not a problem with paths, libraries, or other configuration
issues on the AIX machine, because I ssh to the same account on the
same machine. The ONLY difference between the two situations is the
machine from which I ssh.
I believe the problem is perhaps related to dxui, a program which is
launched by the DX front end when you click on one of its buttons. I
notice (by observing that the front end "edit visual programs" button
launches the following command:
/usr/local/OpenDX/4.1/dx/bin_ibm6000/dxui -edit -memory 128 -processors
1 -xrm DX.editorWindow.geometry:-0+0 -appPort 1920 -wizard -directory
/usr/local/OpenDX/4.1/dx/bin
When I try this command from the command line, it fails to work as
well, UNLESS I eliminate the -appPort 1920 line, in which case it
fires up the editor and server correctly!!!!
I am really confused, help! Thanks.
