We installed SRSS 3.1 on a computer with Ubuntu 6.06 (no upgrade from
5.10) and have problems with applications like xemacs, emacs, and gv.
Under Xfce, these applications break with an error message "Undefined
color: "black"".

Any ideas what could cause this problem?


A translation from a symbolic colour name like "black" to the
corresponding R,G,B values usually involves a lookup in some
file.  For Motif apps that file is usually /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt.  I don't
know what file other widget sets use but I wouldn't be at all
surprised if they used the same one.  You might check that it
exists on your system, that it's readable by everyone, and that
it contains a definition for "black".

The following symlinks solved my problems with xemacs et al.:
ln -s /etc/X11/rgb.txt /etc/X11R6/lib/X11
ln -s /etc/X11/rgb.txt /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt

Thanks to Otto and the SRSS installation guide for Debian (see http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~simigern/sunray-debian/3.1fcs.htmlinstallation under "On Debian Etch").

Yours,
Guido
