Hey All, A colleague and I have been trying to build Gnome 2.12 on Solaris 9 running on the sparc architecture. We have built all of the packages[1], but we can't get it to run. When logging in, the Gnome splash screen is displayed. After a moment, it drops us back to the login screen. It leaves a little bit of info in .xsession-errors: SESSION_MANAGER=local/twix.cat.pdx.edu:/tmp/.ICE-unix/19866,tcp/twix.cat.pdx.edu:33715 Warning: program compiled against libxml 205 using older 204 The program 'gnome-session' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 960 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Window manager warning: Failed to a open connection to a session manager, so window positions will not be saved: Could not open network socket Window manager warning: Log level 32: could not find XKB extension. Window manager warning: Lost connection to the display ':0.0'; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the window manager. Also, if I kill the X server and dtlogin, run xinit from the console, and execute the code from my .xsession file, gnome-session outputs the previous error (as it does when logging in from dtlogin), but it *does* start -- or at least it seems like it since the windows get decorated with scrollbars, titlebars, etc. How should we work around this? I suspect that this is a problem with either GDK or Xlib. I was thinking that we should check out GTK from CVS and try to build that. If the error persists, then we should update Xlib. Is this a sensible plan? Here is a summary of my system information: OS: Solaris 9 Architecture: Sparc Gnome: 2.12 Compilers: gcc 3.4 (primarily), gcc 4.0.2, and Forte 7 Lots more info: http://wiki.cecs.pdx.edu/view/Gnome/WebHome Any help, suggestions, or thought would be *much* appreciated! -- Regards, Travis Spencer [1] http://wiki.cecs.pdx.edu/view/Gnome/GnomePackage _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
