I have been working in the UNIX environment since the mid 80's (starting with Sun OS running Openwindows) so my attachment to textedit is genuine. :) Anyway I have been able to successfully install textedit on previous UNIX systems except FreeBSD4.3. Something is different about how 4.3 handles the X windowing system. (I've noticed that some of the directories have moved since 4.2, is this due to the distribution of XFree86? I am running XFree86-3.3.6 that came with the 4.3 distribution disk. I have downloaded the /usr/ports/xview and /usr/ports/textedit sources and successfully compiled them on 4.3, however, textedit will not run using the installed X server on the 4.3 system. I get: XView error: Cannot open connection to window server: jordan.llnl.gov:0.0 (Server package) However, textedit will run over a network and successfully uses the X-server on the remote client box. It just crashes when it tries to use the X-server that came with the 4.3 distribution. Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I know that textedit is old, but I'm productive with it and would like to continue with it if I can. Ed Alley wea@llnl.gov P.S. Although I am a member of some of the digest groups (freebsd-questions-digest for one) I am not a member of freebsd-questions so please cc your response to me rather than directly to freebsd-questions as I wouldn't get the answer until the digest comes out. :-) Thanks Ed :wq To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
