Summary: found the problem Message-ID: <2936@cbnewsh.ATT.COM> Date: 9 Aug 89 13:28:34 GMT References: <2925@cbnewsh.ATT.COM> <1989Aug9.005527.19507@brutus.cs.uiuc.edu> Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 16 I found the problem which caused the "strangeness" I described in a previous article. Turns out I used an old Makefile (which I thought did everything correctly) that linked in an old version of the Xtoolkit library (and perhaps the order in which I linked in the libraries mattered too.) I would never have found the stupid problem if I hadn't tried out the program on another machine. There, I manually entered the compile/link commands - and sure enough, the program worked. I guess it take experience to associate an apparent run-time problem with the compile/link cycle of development :-) Thanks to those who suggested solutions/causes of the problem. Sorry to have bothered the net with this one, Tom
