SUMMARY: Problem Running Motif App under OpenWindows

The solution to my problem is to define the XKEYSYMDB environment
variable pointing to the XKeysymDB file:

        setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/openwin/lib/X11/XKeysymDB

I believe the problem exists because I keep the X and Motif installs
on my systems in non-standard places, namely in /usr/local. When I
installed my app on a plain vanilla Solaris 2 w/OpenWindows system
the /usr/local directory structure for X didn't exist. So far the
XKeysymDB issue is the only problem I've encountered.

Many thanks to everyone for the quick replies, including:

ORIGINAL POST:

Trying to run an in-house developed Motif app on a bare Solaris 2.4 install and having problems. After statically linking all Motif libraries I'm getting the following errors when running on the OpenWindows system:

Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfActivate Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfActivate:ManagerParentActivate()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfCancel Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfCancel:ManagerParentCancel()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfSelect Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfSelect:ManagerGadgetSelect()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfHelp Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfHelp:ManagerGadgetHelp()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfBeginLine Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfBeginLine:ManagerGadgetTraverseHome()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfUp Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfUp:ManagerGadgetTraverseUp()'

I have found these keysyms in /usr/openwin/lib/X11/XKeysym but it doesn't seem they're being used. Any help V. much appreciated.

Sal.
