2203.0. "dynatext and motif??" by CSC32::PITT () Mon Feb 03 1997 13:34

    
    
    don't try this at home. 
    
    I am (WAS) running dunix 4.0a. It was upgraded from 4.0. 
    I installed netview 4.1c. I tried to run dynatext and got an error
    about OSFMOTIFxxx wasn't installed and how I needed to install it....
    SO..trying to find it was interesting enough...found it on the 4.0
    disk. Started to install it. It wiped out most of my links and half of most
    everything else to the point where I can't even bring my system up...
    
    I get to REINSTALL. Everything.  
    I would read the on line release notes again...BUT I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE   
    AN OPERATING SYSTEM ANYMORE...
    Is this documented? I would have thought that dynatext install would
    have complained about a missing file-from-hell before in installed...

    Hi Cathy,
    
    Sorry to hear about the disaster.
    
    No, there isn't anything in the Release notes or the Dynatext release
    notes (/usr/ebt/DynaText.README) about having OSFMOTIFxxx.  I upgraded
    from DU V4.0 to DU V4.0A and OSFMOTIF is still there.  I don't know
    why it would become deinstalled/removed---have you tried asking the
    Digital Unix group what may have happened when you tried to reinstall
    OSFMOTIF?
    
    Thanks for the warning.

    HUm..ok. When I upgraded from 4.0 to 4.0a dunix, one of the products
    that I had to deinstall was pnv (along with decnet and some other
    things). The upgrade would not proceed with those subsets installed. 
    I have been running 4.0a dunix and 4.1b pnv for awhile now, but 
    installed 4.1c pnv last week....dynatext installed just fine. It's only
    when I try to run it, nothing happens except in dxconsole who logs the 
    error and complains that about OSFMOTIF.....I'd send you the error...
    but...well.....you know the story!!!  If you're at 4.0a and 4.1c, can
    you setld -i and look for MOTIF? Do you have an OSFMOTIF something
    installed????

    Cathy, I did not install OSFMOTIF separately.
    
    Here's what I have installed:
    
# setld -i |grep -i PNV|grep instal
PNVBASE413           installed  POLYCENTER NetView Base System V4.1C
PNVBOOKS413          installed  POLYCENTER NetView DynaText On-line Documentation V4.1C
# setld -i|grep OSFMOTIF
OSFMOTIF11405        installed  X/Motif 1.1 (Windowing Environment)
# uerf -R|more
                                                  uerf version 4.2-011 (122)

    well, that's the one I apparently didn't have..and when I went to
    install it....it made a few changes on its own!!!
    
    fwiw, it seems that it IS a pre-req for dynatext. 
    
    thanks!
