4565.0. "UlTRIX 4.2a / Motif 1.1.1 / T1.3.1 pb" by ANNECY::HAGENMULLER (EIC Annecy - dtn 7887.41.99) Thu Feb 18 1993 05:34

We have a ULTRIX 4.2a WS running MOTIF 1.1.1 and I've installed DECmcc T131.
After reading the release_notes, we tried to upgrade in MOTIF 1.1.3, but this
version is not supported under ULTRIX 4.2a. For some reasons (support of an
other product), we can't upgrade ULTRIX to 4.3 for the moment.

After completing the installation of DECmcc, we started the IMPM from a
DEcterm window and received hundreds of messages like :

X Toolkit Warning: Cannot convert string "Shift         <Key>DRemove    " to typ
e VirtualBinding

Seems there is an issue with Motif.
However, the iconic map comes up and all seems ok. But as soon as we try to
use the different menus we get blocked (for example clicking on the close
button in a window doesn't do anything, and the windows screens behind are no
longer refreshed).

Are there known patches to cope with this problem ? Any solution wellcomed ...

thanks in advance, Christophe

4565.1	Motif 1.1.3 should run under Ultrix 4.2a	TOOK::BMURRAY	Bob Murray	`Thu Feb 18 1993 10:11`	33

I looked up the installation guide for DECwindows for OSF/Motif 1.1.3 and it said Ultrix 4.2 or higher. If you have 4.2a installed it should install. Make sure you run the installation verification procedure to double check your installation of Motif. Here is the clip from the installation guide: June 1992 Product Version: DECwindows for OSF/Motif Version 1.1.3 Operating System and Version: ULTRIX and ULTRIX Worksystem Software Version 4.2 or higher -Bob

	Bob, Seems there is a problem somewhere. When trying to instal Motif 1.1.3 I get the following messages : You are installing the following subsets: OSF/Motif User Environment (RISC) Additional OSF/Motif Apps. (RISC) OSF/Motif Development Env. (RISC) Is this correct? (y/n): y requires X11/DECwindows User Environment subset for ULTRIX/UWS V4.3 or higher, cannot install. Installation declined by subset control program. OSF/Motif User Environment (RISC) (DXMX1111301) will not be loaded. requires ULTRIX V4.3 or higher, cannot install Installation declined by subset control program. Additional OSF/Motif Apps. (RISC) (DXMDECW11301) will not be loaded. requires Workstation Developemnt Environemnt subset for ULTRIX V4.3 or higher, cannot install. Installation declined by subset control program. OSF/Motif Development Env. (RISC) (DXMXM11301) will not be loaded. # are the required X11/DECwindows User Environment subset for ULTRIX/UWS V4.3 and Workstation Developemnt Environemnt subset for ULTRIX V4.3 availaible under ULTRIX 4.2a ??? Is there a way to force this installation ? any help ... Christophe
4565.3	V1.1.3 and not V1.1.3.0.1	ANNECY::HAGENMULLER	EIC Annecy - dtn 7887.41.99	`Fri Feb 19 1993 07:58`	9
	Ok, the pb was I tried to install the Motif v 1.1.3-01 which comes with the latest set of CD-ROMs and apparently requires ULTRIX 4.3. I found an old version of our CD-ROMs (dated may 92) which contains Motif v 1.1.3 and it works (except the upper border of new DECterm windows are out of the screen, but this doesn't affect the way DECmcc is running), Christophe.
4565.4	DXMX11113 vs DXMX1111301	TOOK::BMURRAY	Bob Murray	`Fri Feb 19 1993 10:14`	17
	Christophe, It seems I have OSF/Motif User Environment (RISC) (DXMX11113) installed on my Ultrix 4.2a system. Seems you are installing a DXMX1111301. I'm not sure what the difference in these two are without looking it up but the -01 seems to want Ultrix 4.3. Trying installing the DXMX11113 kit instead on your 4.2a system. BTW, you don't need to install the Developer's Env for Motif to run the Iconic Map. Might save you some resources unless you are doing development. -Bob
