The solution for this problem has already appeared on sun-managers,
and is in the Release Notes for 4.1.1. (So who reads the Release Notes?
I don't even know where mine are!) I decided to summarize anyway since
I had not seen the original posting. Solutions proposed:
(1) Run /cdrom/OpenWindows/sun4/lib/OSpatches from the 4.1.1 CD.
(2) Run $OPENWINHOME/lib/OSpatches/install_4.1.1patches.
(3) Run $OPENWINHOME/bin/install_openwin.
(4) Goto 4.1.2.
(5) Check the permissions and major/minor dev numbers on /dev/zero.
(6) Make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes only $OPENWINHOME/lib.
(7) Apply ld.so/ldd/ldconfig jumbo patch 100257-04 (applicable to
4.1.1, 4.1.2).
(8) The machine mounted the wrong kvm.
(9) Not enough swap space.
Solution (2) worked for us. Many thanks to the helpful men, women,
and nerds of sun-managers:
