Description of Problem: when you run wmclock either from my window maker start-up script (which is unchanged from rh6.2&7.1) or from the command line, with any set of options, wmclock never pops up the clock window on any screen or within the dock tool bar. it is running, just doesn't do anything. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/bin/wmclock WindowMaker-0.65.1-3 redhat 7.2 with all installed errata patches as of 2002-01-01 How Reproducible: just run it -- nothing happens
i've tried to build wmclock again from both the srpm and from the unpatched tgz file and it does not run. i've run it on both a dual-ppro and athlon no luck. turning off any -O or -m and adding -g -O0 (oh-zero) does not help. the main loop is running, just nothing from X is being displayed (but the XCopyArea calls are being run). i don't know enough about X to help debug this, sorry. i'll apply the plethora of XFree patches that were recently released and see if that helps and i'll report back soon.
Hum,... dunno about 0.65.1-3 as such There is a rawhide version I put up a couple of days ago rpm --rebuild ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/SRPMS/SRPMS/WindowMaker-0.80.1-1.src.rpm You'll note that the icon behaviour is different from other releases but I've been assured by the WindowMaker folks that this is correct behaviour and that everything up until now has been broken... (go figure) Thats the raw windowmaker system without any dockapps BUT wmclock will build fine and work (tested) Bear in mind that according to the higher powers things like wmclock should live in /usr/bin (FHS standard, section 4.4.1 - http://www.pathname.com/fhs ) Phil =--=
i've upgraded to redhat 7.3 and it still doesn't work. path: /usr/bin/wmclock rpm: wmclock-1.0.12.2-2 perhaps it is just me. weird.
[root@alpha root]# rpm -q wmclock wmclock-1.0.12.2-2 [root@alpha root]# type wmclock wmclock is /usr/bin/wmclock [root@alpha root]# I'm running wmclock on a 7.2 alpha and it's showing up fine (if it's going to fail anywhere, it'll fail first on an alpha) I also just checked it on a dual processor x86 box running 7.3 Whats your locale? [root@alpha root]# locale LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_NAME="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="en_US" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US" LC_ALL= Phil =--=
my locale is exactly the same as yours. here's a thought: i have a minimalish system, no kde, no python, no a great many things. could i have a library that is required but not installed? perhaps a mini-version of a library is there and doesn't work? is something getting missed by rpm in the determination of requirements? i compiled from the .src.rpm and it does not work either - even compiled statically.
From the 7.3 intel box thats woking fine...
