I have a customer with a DECstation 5000, running UWS 4.0. When
he uses the postscript previewer, he gets the error "Server
does not have PostScript extension". Isn't this built into
the server? Does any one know the cause of the error? It's
hard to track through the source code, as we don't have the
postscript call where the error is generated.
Thanks for any help
Julia.

Run xdpyinfo client to get a list of extensions built with you server
and/or compile/link the following (xlistext.c):
Regards,
== ken miller ==
#include <stdio.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
main(argc,argv)
char *argv[];
{
extern char **XListExtensions();
Display *dpy;
int next;
char **plist;
/* Open the display */
if (!(dpy = XOpenDisplay("")))
{ fprintf(stderr,"%s: Unable to open display. Check $DISPLAY\n",argv[0]);
exit(1);
}
/* Obtain the list from the server */
if ((plist = XListExtensions(dpy,&next)) == NULL)
{ fprintf(stderr,"%s: Unable to obtain extension list.\n",argv[0]);
exit(1);
}
/* Tell the invoker about the extensions */
if (next == 0)
{ printf("There are no extensions.\n"); }
else
{ printf("There are %d extensions, identified as follows:\n",next);
while (next > 0)
{ printf("\t%s\n",plist[--next]); }
}
/* Clean up */
(void)XFreeExtensionList(plist);
(void)XCloseDisplay(dpy);
exit(0);
}

Also make sure that DPS is not turned off in .Xdefaults.
If turned off, a line similar to this will appear:
*DPSinitialize: False

Re: .2 Actually, the *DPSinitialize resource only controls initialization by the session manager. Any other program can initialize DPS later. Ken | |||||
