The error was "ignored" because it is harmless. It just means that you do not have the necessary tool to install a link to xboard's info file into the top-level GNU Info directory on your machine. The program works fine without such a link. >I tried running /usr/local/bin/xboard and a >window did appear but promptly vanished and the command line displayed the >following error: > >X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter). Whatever this is, it is unrelated to the install-info problem. Could you please run xboard with the -debug flag and email me the complete output (not just one line from the error message)? Thanks. By the way, I have a Tru64 workstation on my desk and run xboard on it all the time. --Tim -- Tim Mann tim.mann@compaq.com http://www.tim-mann.org Compaq Computer Corporation, Systems Research Center, Palo Alto, CA
