Hi Nate,
thanks for replying. I've tried what you've said but I still get the same
errors. I've confirmed that all the named directories exist.
This porbably seems extreme but I'm thinking of re-installing XWindows on my
FBSD2.2.6 (perhaps there's some bug somewhere !?!).
Any thoughts. Thanks again.
Ghulam
p.s. I've included another sample short C program in question :-
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
main() {
Display *display;
Window window;
int screen;
unsigned long foreground, background;
display = XOpenDisplay ("");
if (display == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "cannot connect to server\n");
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
}
screen = DefaultScreen(display);
background = WhitePixel(display, screen);
foreground = BlackPixel(display, screen);
window = XCreateSimpleWindow(display, DefaultRootWindow(display), 100,
50, 350,250, 2, foreground, background);
if (window == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr,"cannot open window\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
XMapRaised(display, window);
XFlush(display);
sleep(5);
XDestroyWindow(display, window);
XCloseDisplay(display);
exit (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
