Hello,

Hi All,

Except with xfig I have not experienced any trouble. Which locale have you set
during the installation? My $LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

I have same locale...

O.k., I will try your advice.

thank you,

cheers,
            Dusan

I do not know why, but xfig is for many years somehow incompatible with modern
font installations. What I did, is to steel the accomodations of the source
code from the SuSE 9.3 distribution and compile xfig myself. If somebody
likes the source code, it's here for download:

http://cyclotron.tamu.edu/hees/tmp/xfig.3.2.5-full-SL5.0-HvH.tar.bz2

Note that you need to compile the transfig package before the xfig package.
Both, transfig and the original xfig source code can be found at

http://www.xfig.org/

Cheers,
Hendrik.

    Dear coleagues,

I have several problems with SLC5.  Please look:

- xterm

but terminal will be open

- acroread

Fatal System Error: Raise at top of Exception Stack
zsh: abort      acroread

but I remember time, when acroread-5.0.10-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm worked
properly...

- if I looked on .xsession-errors, I see (as a root):
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/localuser.sh: line 12:  3711 Segmentation
fault      xhost +si:localuser:`id
-un`
No profile for user 'root' found
xset:  bad font path element (#100), possible causes are:
   Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
   Directory missing fonts.dir
   Incorrect font server address or syntax
startkde: Starting up...

but

xhost
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
INET:h8x.iep

/usr/bin/id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)

id -un  gives root

It means xhost and id works properly (I  hope) and segmentation fault
goes from

xhost +si:localuser:`id -un`

- kprinter
Qt: Locales not supported on X server

I have last update...

What is wrong?

Thank you for help.

Best regards,
                                   Dusan
