[ from a previous summary by ballisti@ifh.ee.ethz.ch]
It turns out this is a known problem and is fixed by the following Sun
Patches:
101610 for SunOS 5.3
101071 for SunOS 4.1.3
101461 for SunOS 4.1.3_U1
In the mean time the user has solved the problem by switching to tcsh,
but I will get and apply the patch anyway.
Other suggestions were:
- use any other shell like ksh or bash ...
- a workaround suggested by ukcphmr@ukpmr.cs.philips.nl:
setenv XUSERFILESEARCHPATH \
${HOME}/X11R5/lib/X11/app-defaults/%L/%N:`printenv XUSERFILESEARCHPATH`
- another work around suggested by Birger.Wathne@vest.sdata.no:
set tmp=`env | grep XUSERFILESEARCHPATH | sed ......`
setenv XUSERFILESEARCHPATH xxxx:yyyy:$tmp
Other problems pointed out:
- I cannot count. XUSERFILESEARCHPATH has 19 chars, not 18 :-)
I may have been counting:
XUSERFILESEARCHPAT: Undefined variable.
at least I hope so ...
Thanks Everyone,
Don
