I just sent in the subscription request so please respond directly to me as I
am not sure when I will be getting regular mailings.

I have a Sun 3/60 with a monochrome monitor running SunOs 4.0.3 and I want to
run X11R4 on it.  I put gcc on it too for the mentioned performance benefits.
All seems well except:

1) When it gets down to compiling sunInit.c (and others) in ddx/sun it 
   complains as follows:
   "/usr/include/sundev/vuid_event.h:42: unterminated character constant
    *** Error code 1"

   I checked this .h file out and see that line 42 is in the middle of an
   #ifdef COMMENT ... #endif block.  Confused, I made a backup copy of that
   file, cut that block out and did another make World.  That seemed to satisfy
   gcc or whoever generated the error.

2) everytime make tried to use mit/fonts/mkfontdir/mkfontdir in each of
   mit/fonts/bdf/misc, 75dpi, and 100dpi; I got:
   "ld.so: libXmu.so.4: not found
    *** Error code 127"

   I did a setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the dir that I found the libXmu.so.4.0 in
   (I think it was mit/lib/Xmu), did an ldconfig (just in case) and then did
   the mkfontdir's manually following the examples in the make.world file.
   This seemed to work ok.  Then I did a make install DESTDIR=/home/Xdirs and
   that too looked fine.  I got a 'complete' canned implementation of X in
   /home/Xdirs.

3) After linking /home/Xdirs/usr/* to their normal places, I did an xinit and
   got this:


Getting interface configuration: Operation not supported on socket
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Fatal server bug!
no screens found
XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "(null)"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
      The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.


   I checked the permissions on /dev/bwtwo0 and they are 666 so that should be
   fine (right?).  I even tried xinit -- -dev /dev/bwtwo0 and got the same
   message with four less "sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device"
   messages.

   Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?  Do you think my mucking around with
   1) and 2) above pose any problems?

Any help is appreciated.
