I got lots of responses on this, thanks to everybody.
The original problem was on a newly installed SPARC-10 running
SunOS 4.1.3 and OpenWindows version 3. Attempts at running 'openwin'
from the SPARC-10 console resulted in the message:
ld.so: libsunwindow.so.0: not found
giving up
/usr/local/openwin/bin/xinit: Connection refused (errno 61): unable
to connect to X server
The EASIEST solution was to run openwin with the -nosunview option.
That worked because what was happening was that openwin was looking
for some suntools stuff that wasn't loaded. Using the -nosunview
option told it to not look for that stuff.
The REAL solution is to load the sunview users libraries. This is the
real solution because using the -nosunview option on our SPARC-2
machines running 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 results in other problems and I want
people (the director) to be able to log in at any console and have
OpenWindows started in his login. [Well, maybe I should just upgrade
everything to SunOS 4.1.3 but that task is scheduled for sometime
further down the road.]
Some people suggested I didn't have my library paths or my open windows
home variable set correctly. This time that wasn't the case but I
appreciate the reminders. Those things area easy to forget/overlook.
