RE: Problem connecting to Solaris 8 systems using Xwin

[Martin McNelis <martin dot mcnelis at tecnomen dot ie>]

Hi Harold,

I've updated as follows:

$ cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
XFree86-xserv        4.3.0-40       OK

Unfortunately it hasn't fixed the problem:

$ xwin -query snail -fp tcp/snail:7100
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error:            Can't find file "pc/uk" for symbols include
>                   Exiting
>                   Abandoning symbols file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

This gives the signature three attempts followed by a crah of Xwin.exe.

Well, then your installation was from an out of date mirror. 
XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-20 was released on October 17th, and there have been 
20 versions released since then with major changes:

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/server/changelog.html

Please rerun Cygwin's setup.exe and let it update your distribution for 
you.  A known-good mirror is mirrors.kernel.org.

By the way, could you report the mirror that you used?  Somebody should 
check it for trouble.

Hope that helps,

Harold
