You'll get even more successes if you run no window manager at all an an empty X resource database, too. Do X :0 & # Start X server xrdb -display :0 -load /dev/null # Empty resources setenv DISPLAY :0 # For benefit of Tk make test # Let 'er rip. As for the tests that fail, ignoring them hasn't caused me any problems ... yet. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time."
