I just installed 4.1.1 on my Sun-3/80, 2x104 MB disk, 8MB memory. When I
try to use Openwindows, I get dumped back to the shell prompt with some
strange error messages. If you've seen something like this or know how to
fix it, I would appreciate hearing from you.

% /usr/openwin/bin/openwin
XNeWS: can't find fonts
FONTPATH="/usr/openwin/lib/fonts" <--but they *are* there!
giving up
/usr/openwin/bin/xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to
connect to X server
If I put a -xv at the top of the openwin shell script the problem comes
at:
/usr/openwin/bin/xinit -- /usr/openwin/bin/xnews :0 -auth \
/home/dbd/.xnews.theory:0
And if I just try to start xinit directly using this command:
xinit -- /usr/openwin/bin/xnews
I get
ld.so: libX11.so.4: not found
Which is true, it's libX11.so.1 in /usr/openwin/lib.
I did not install the openwin demos or extra fonts due to lack of disk
space. (Couldn't put the manual pages on either, sheesh). Otherwise
everything appears to be in the right places (/usr/openwin/...) on the
non-NFS-mounted /usr partition.
Thanks in advance,
