X11R5 on DECstation 5000/133

[Bob Palermo]

I am working on a project that is currently using X11R5 on a VAXstation 3100
running Ultrix 4.2. We are trying to port to a DECstation 5000/133 running
Ultrix 4.2 or 4.3. I am able to successfully compile X11R5 on the DECstation
for both Ultrix 4.2 and 4.3. However, when I attempt to execute xterm (or
just about any other X client) I get the following errors:

Warning: No type converter registered for 'CallProc' to 'Boolean' conversion.
Warning: No type converter registered for 'Immediate' to 'Position' conversion.
Warning: No type converter registered for 'Immediate' to 'Position' conversion.
Warning: No type converter registered for 'Immediate' to 'Dimension' conversion.
Warning: No type converter registered for 'Immediate' to 'Boolean' conversion.
*
* many more warnings
*
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I find it hard to believe that the mit distribution of X11R5 will not run
on a DECstation 5000/133 running Ultrix 4.2 or 4.3.

Has anyone else had similar problems?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

We have X11r4 and r5 working here. Perhaps you crossed the X versions?
Also - what compiler are you using. We use the one shipped in 4.2A
without problem.

As an additional test - does your code work on another machine?
(different O/S, etc.)

Are you sure that when you compiled the X11R5 version of xterm you
linked against the R5 version of the libraries? I've got the R5 xterm
running here, and I don't see any similar problems. I left the Digital
supplied binaries where they were, and built a new heirarchy rooted in
/usr/X11R5 for the R5 bin, lib, include, and man directories.
