Hello all,
In a bout of nostalgia for SunOS, I set up Xview and olwm at home
yesterday.  olwm came up OK, but there was a problem with the
library. I was wondering whether anyone else has this problem.

In a cmdtool, a full screen program such as vi will kill the
cmdtool with an error messages:

(null): undefined symbol "_cfree" called from \
cmdtool:/usr/X11R6/lib/libxview.so.3.2 at 0x8121710
(line wrapped by me).

the TERMCAP seems to be picked up ok.

Also, (possibly related?) when I tried to su (to root) the window
just hung (no input accepted).

Just starting shelltool gave the same _cfree error message as
above (the window never appeared).

It also complained:
"Make sure that you can write /var/run/utmp!" on every invocation
of cmdtool.

Just to be sure, I did a pkg_delete on all the xview stuff and
installed the package instead of compiling the port as I had done
originally; same problem.

This on a 486DX33 with 2.2 and XFree86 3.3.1 (36MB memory, plenty
of disk space, 64MB of swap, /tmp mounted on MFS).

Anyone have any ideas?
TIA,
Bud Dodson

PS, no I don't plan to run olwm all the time.
