even a simple ¨hello_world" program taken from the gtk-tutorial ? also my program (self made, no gnome stuff in it) worked on my gnome-less solaris box.

Something is going wrong. ok i will look at it, but then i just was told that i should use the p option when untaring the base tarball, so this could be the cause of it, but MAKEDEV should recreate the devices with the correct permissions, or shouldn't he ? it is ok if i look at the strace and just tell you the problem, or do you need it, it is quite big ? > > > also when i installed the server, and asked to put in the packages > > XF86Config, > > it tried to parse the existing XF86Config, and complained about Device > > "fbdev". > > so i stopped the upgrade, and just left the old XF86Config in place.
