Hi all,

I'm trying to get the py-opendx scripts to work with dx, but when I execute 00-basic.py, it starts up dxexec and just sits. When I CTRL-C it, it returns with:

----- SUCCESS TEST: -----

^CDXLink Error: Connection to DX broken
Can not determine server version number!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./00-basic.py", line 14, in ?
    conn = DXLStartDX( DX.DXEXEC + " -execonly", None )


I've tried several different DXEXEC environment variables including "dxexec", "/usr/local/dx/bin_freebsd/dxexec", and "dx". I even made a shell script called opendx that just calls dxexec, and that didn't do it. I've tried using DXHOST=localhost and DXHOST=unix. The dx binary locations are in my PATH.

The funny thing is, the dx apps all work fine. I was able to load and run the DisplayTest.net program fine from the Program Editor. Although, when I close the Program Editor, it complains that it cannot connect to dxexec...weird.

Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Jim Garlick
