We are running The Publisher (a text typesetter by ArborText) on our Sparc
1+ (4/65) with OpenWindows 2.0. As per the installation instructions, we
installed the following font path for The Publisher in our .cshrc file:
xset +fp /home/math-stat/rssmith/rssmith/publisher/Xfonts/sun4-xnews/
After doing so we checked the font path with the command xset q and
obtained
/home/math-stat/rssmith/rssmith/publisher/Xfonts/sun4-xnews/,
/usr/openwin/lib/fonts (all on one line)
When I login the following error message appears on the console:
"ld.so: libX11.so4: not found".
As OpenWindows has come up it brings up a system tutorial window. Written
diagonally across the window is the message: Warning: PostScript error.
There are other error messages in a dark font in the tutorial window.
Some of them are:
Process: 0x24a88 (math-stat NeWS client) Error
Stack: /F1 10 /Times-RomanR /F2 12 Times-BoldR
Executing 'findfont'
I have tried reversing the "+" in the command in the font path so that it
reads
xset fp+ ...
This apparently reverse the order in which the font paths are read but it
does not cure the problem.
If I comment out the line
xset +fp /home/math-stat/rssmith/rssmith/publisher/Xfonts/sun4-xnews/
in my .cshrc file then the "ld.so: libX11.so4: not found" error message
does not come up under any conditions and the tutorial window shows no
error messages.
Is this a compatibility problems? Is there a cure for this problem?
Thank you.
