L68K: Can't start X11 3.3.2!
Jorge Matias
I have a problem starting X 3.3.2 on my linux.
I'm using kernel 2.0.33, binutils 2.8.1 and glibc 2.0.6, but X Server
and xdm they give me a message like this:
"Error loading shared libraries:"
and then
"..._register_frame_info" (I suppose this is a function not found)
Regards,
Jorge Matias

These binaries are broken (at least xinit). The Debian/m68k 2.0
distribution has working X binaries. You can get the x11 base there:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/hamm/main/binary-m68k/x11/xbase_3.3.2.3-1.deb
Or use a mirror near you. http://www.debian.org/ is a good starting point.
If you don't have a Debian distribution (and dpkg - the package
manager), do the following:
ar x xbase_3.3.2.3-1.deb (to create .tar.gz archives)
tar ztf not_the_control_file.tar.gz
and install the pieces where they belong on your system (tar zxvf
..). You can wipe out /usr/X11R6 and start using the Debian packages
for it, or adapt them to Red Hat or whatever. A third option is
recompiling the source RPM, but this is time consuming on m68k
architectures. If you don't want to debug the compiler, use
gcc-2.7.2.3, this version is stable. The X version you mentioned was
compiled with a newer compiler version, and that has failed.
