I've installed new versions of rrn and xrn which will print an
intelligent error message if we need to shut down the news server for
maintenance in the future.
Now go back and install it in the correct version of the locker
(/afs/.sipb/project/sipb, not /afs/.athena/contrib/sipb) :-).
The one exception is xrn on the RS/6000,
which I wasn't able to recompile. It was complaining about not finding
to Xtoolkit routines during link time.
RS/6000 X applications are linked against X11R4, not X11R5. All other
platforms use X11R5, for xrn and for any other applications that I
have had to recompile since X11R5 became stable.
To build a Makefile from an Imakefile on the RS/6000: "imake
-I../../src/X11-config -DUseInstalled -DUseSharedLibs" with X11R4
attached. You need to use that command every time you build the
Makefile, i.e. "make Makefile" should *not* be used. On other
platforms, attach X11R5 and do "imake -I../../src/X11r5-config
-DUseInstalled"; in this case, "make Makefile" *will* work from that
point on.
