[Pnet-developers] X11 and PNET on Mac continued

[Jason King]

Hello everyone

First off, thanks to Fergus, Enrique and JP for your help.

So far, I have managed to download the relevant headers from XFree86 and
successfully installed them using their Xinstall.sh script.  Also, I
have successfully edited the path to include /usr/X11R6/bin and also to
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Here they are, for those that wish to know:
Path: /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin ~/bin /usr/X11R6/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH: /usr/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib

Now, when I rebuild pnetlib, the .configure does indeed find X and
spurts the following line:

"checking for x... (cached) libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers
/usr/X11R6/include"

Great.  That looks good. However, when I now try to run
pnetlib-0.6.2/samples/forms/formshello.exe, I am still getting the
following error message:

Uncaught exception: Xsharp.XCannotConnectException:X/Windows library is
not present, or could not be located on the library search
path.--->System.EntryPointNOtFoundException:Entry point was not found at
Xsharp.Display.OpenInternal(String, Application, boolean)

Etc etc

This is the same when running from the usual Mac terminal, and after
launching X and using its Xdarwin.  So I checked the paths were set
again, and found that in Xdarwin, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH wasn't being set
(help!) so I did it manually, and still the same problem.


As an extra clue to the truly knowledgable (maybe), when I do "make" as
my usual login, it fails at the end with "permission denied" errors on
the following

.rm libs/libXSharpSupport.la
.rm libs/libXSharpSupport.a
.rm libs/libXSharpSupport.lai

So, I login as SU, and try again, and this time the make succeeds.  So,
maybe that's a complete red herring, as its just a permission thing.
However, I still can't get the forms to run...

Am I being a numpty, or is there a problem here?

Sigh.
