I'm having a pb getting dxdb to run.
Context : VS2000 3.0FT with UWS 2.0(bl9)
Using a documented example for dxdb : diroll, I get the following-
# dxdb diroll
killed
and that's all.
Can anyone tell what's missing in my software environment ??
This is my 1st X-window experience !! (without training or doc of
course - otherwise what's the fun ???!)
What shell variables do I need to set up ?? (DISPLAY=nant02::0
where nant02 is my nodename).
What default files need to exist, locally or in root and do they
need any specific entries for dxdb ??
In groping around on another system I found a "sm.host_list" entry
in Xdefaults - is this of any relevance ??
I'm also looking dxdb doc on the network (for once I get working)
Thanks in advance,
David Payne (NANTES:: in France)

First check to see if dxdb (Ultrix X dbx) is installed. Do this; % setld -i UWSDECW020 | grep dxdb ...(for sdc software subsets) you should see something like.. ./usr/examples/dxdb/diroll.c ./usr/examples/dxdb/didisp.c ./usr/examples/dxdb ./usr/bin/dxdb meaning dxdb is correctly installed ...UWSDECW020 contains the optional DECwindows applications... if dxdb is not installed, use setld -l /dev/rmt0h to install the UWSDECW020 subset. To try dxdb and the droll example in /usr/examples/dxdb, do: % cc -g diroll.c didisp.c -o diroll ...(to compile..."-g" for debugging) then, % dxdb diroll .....(to try out the diroll example). Regarding the location of Ultrix documentation...this has been discussed in here ....do a title search . ...Node GURU[::~guest] is the reservoir for Ultrix documentation. I hope this helps...

I've found that ordinary users get better results from the
files in /usr/examples/dxdb if they copy these files to a local
directory and then try compiling via "cc" and running dxdb on the
reusltant executable "diroll". The permissions in /usr/examples
do not allow mere mortals the privelege of writing into the
directories.
