Hello, I'm trying to get a demonstration running using OpenDX. Basically I just want them to click a script on the desktop of my Mandrake Linux 9.1 box and see two windows pop open with different running displays (one on each of my two monitors). I have the script properly configured i think.
dx -image -execute -display :0.0 (file here) dx -image -execute -display :0.1 (file here) i've tried a bunch of ways to do this, however none of them will start on launch. Using the sequencer it works fine, but execute from the menu does nothing. I used the initial 4.2.0 version that came on the cd. Then I upgraded to 4.3.0 using rpmfind.net. When I try the scripts, I get an error message saying the path to dxexec was wrong. I think this is the same error as in the old one, just no message. I've tried compiling the 4.3.0 sources, but it hangs on one of the zlib files. I cant tell you which one right now, I'm backing up my system and would have to wait a couple of hours. I am going to try compiling 4.2.0 tomorrow morning, but i fear it will hang on it too. Now here's the weird thing: I can go into the dx -script prompt, type loop on; palindrome on; include (file) play; and it works fine!!! If i try using echo 'loop on; palindrome on; include (file); play;' | dx -script it plays without looping. If i try using dx -scriptcmd and various things, I can repeat the no looping, but adding loop on; prevents it from passing. It says it doesnt understand on. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I basically am looking for a way to get the problems in the mandrake rpms taken care of. I fear that my version of gcc (3.2.2) may be causing the compile errors.
