Original problem:
After modifying /ust/dt/config/C/sys.dtwrc some of the newly added
applications didn't work/start, eg. FrameMaker.
The menu section looks like this:
Menu TaGMenu
{
"Text and Graphics" f.title
"FrameMaker 5.01..." f.exec $FMHOME/bin/imaker
"Acrobat Reader..." f.exec /opt/AcroRead/bin/acroread
"Myriad..." f.exec /opt/local/myriad/myriad
"AsWedit..." f.exec /opt/local/bin/asWedit -helpdir /opt/local/lib
}
First Solution:
I replaced the $FMHOME with the full path for Frame and then it started ok.
asWedit required that the command was put in double quotes, like this:
"AsWedit..." f.exec "/opt/local/bin/asWedit -helpdir /opt/local/lib"
However, I still had some problems with two xview-based applications that refused
to start and no error messages were displayed in the console window.
Second Solution:
adding 'export dtstart_sessionlogfile="/dev/console"' to the end of $HOME/.dtprofile
at least showed what was going wrong. Both apps. couldn't find 'libxview.so.3', so
the corresponding section of sys.dtwrc now looks like:
f.exec "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/openwin/lib;/opt/local/PItool/bin/pitool"
I still have a problem with a Tk/TCL-based application, but I guess it's a similar
problem with an undefined/unresolved path.
Somebody pointed out it was a bad idea to make changes to /usr/dt/config/C/sys.dtwrc,
instead they should be carried out on /etc/dt/config. Well, since all my clients are
installed as 'dataless' and mounts /usr from the server there's not much to choose
from, is it?
Thanks to all who replied!
