Thanks Sean,
The display problem is already solved. Now I am dealing with linking problems.

It seems like I didn't intalled the make utility and all its library. I used the AIX 4.3.3 CD's to install and I can't find the missing parts in them. Do you have any idea of where I should look for this????

To be more direct:
The directories /usr/ccs/bin and /usr/ccs/lib in this test enviroments have less than a half than the production machine.

I guess there is where my problems origin.

Any help on this would be appreciated :)

Saludos,

Veronica:

Getting a program to startup under X is fairly simple. There are two things that have to be done. Sometimes these are done by default on a workstation, so when you startup a program remotely they may be new to you.

First you have to tell the program where to display. It can display on any X compatible terminal on the internet, believe it or not. You tell it by setting the DISPLAY environment variable like this:

$ export DISLAY=192.168.0.1:0.0

The 0.0 part specifies the display on that terminal, as there may be more than one (leave it to unix, nothings ever simple :-) )

Next you have to make that display ACCESSIBLE by that program. Normally on a workstation, if you're the user running the program, and the same as the user who started X, there's no problem. Otherwise you have to do some permutation like this:

$ xhost + localhost
or possibly
$ xhost + 192.168.0.1
or this
$ xhost + my.host.domain

One more important thing. This xhost command has to be run on the machine where you're going to display your prgram, *AS* the user which started X, otherwise you won't have the proper permissions (except if you're root).

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more explanation.

Sean
