I am trying to build X11R5.21 Motif 1.2.1 from the MIT and OSF distribution tapes on an IBM RS/6000 with AIX 3.2 Color Graphics Display Adapter (colorgda:1) and have not been too successful to date. Both the X Server and Motif build completely. When I try to start the server via xinit, I get a message that xinit cannot connect to the server.When I run X directly (i.e. "./Xibm"), the screen goes white and then back to black and I get my prompt back. No error messages, nothing! Interestingly enough, the X client demo programs that I built from the MIT distribution tape run correctly against the IBM X11R5 server (which leads me to believe that my libraries are not totally messed up). When I try to run the Motif Window Manager against the IBM-provided X11R5 server, I get a message from mwm that it cannot open the display. Any help that anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated. Since I do not have regular access to this newsgroup, please respond via email to uunet!blustone!bentz Thanks in advance!
