Before anyone suggests installing the nls directory and the
XKeysymDB file, let me assure you that I have copies of those
installed (identical to those in the netscape-1.12 distribution).
ktrace indicates that they are being opened/read.
Apologies in advance if there was a *real* resolution to this that I
missed. In addition to M C Wong, there seem to have been several
others who have posted about exactly this over the summer (as
archived on minnie). The problem seemed to be dismissed as "user
error".
I too am having this problem (i.e. complaints about a missing
XKeysymDB, then nearly endless "translation table syntax error"
messages). Please note that I am running 1.1.5.1 with the
posted/archived stat/fstat/lstat patches (and XFree86 3.1.[12?]).
Proof that .../nls/C was found
6883 netscape CALL open(0xefbfc044,0,0x1b6)
6883 netscape NAMI "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls/C"
6883 netscape RET open 3
6883 netscape CALL #189(0x3,0xefbfbb30) <-- forwarded fstat
6883 netscape RET #189 0
6883 netscape CALL break(0x6a2ffc)
6883 netscape RET break 0
6883 netscape CALL read(0x3,0x2a2000,0x25bb67)
6883 netscape GIO fd 3 read 3098 bytes <-- yep, its 3098 bytes
[contents of file deleted]
6883 netscape RET read 3098/0xc1a
6883 netscape CALL read(0x3,0x2a2000,0x25bb67)
6883 netscape GIO fd 3 read 0 bytes
""
6883 netscape RET read 0
6883 netscape CALL close(0x3)
The attempt for another read after the eof is a little strange, but
I suppose it could be written off as a side effect of the buffer
handling in stdio?
Proof that XKeysymDB was found
6883 netscape CALL open(0xefbfdbab,0,0xd0)
6883 netscape NAMI "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB"
6883 netscape RET open 4
6883 netscape CALL #188(0xefbfdbab,0xefbfadc8) <-- forwarded stat
6883 netscape NAMI "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB"
6883 netscape RET #188 0
6883 netscape CALL break(0x8feffc)
6883 netscape RET break 0
6883 netscape CALL read(0x4,0x8fc000,0x2000)
6883 netscape GIO fd 4 read 4674 bytes <-- yep, its 4674 bytes
[contents of file deleted]
6883 netscape RET read 4674/0x1242
6883 netscape CALL close(0x4)
At this point, the complaint about the Motif keysyms is printed.
Unless ktrace is lying, the files were found and read. I'm guessing
that netscape didn't like some difference between the information it
got from the read and from the stat/fstat.
Perhaps the stat/ftat/lstat patch doesn't quite work. Didn't struct
stat change in 4.4? The move of stat/fsat/lstat to 188-190 would
make a lot more sense to me if it did.
I realize that 2.1-RELEASE will be out "any day now," and I will
jump onto 2.1 as soon as I know that there aren't any serious
release glitches.
