According to strace on quiche, mplotx11 runs for a while and then does:
[pid 764]: open("/usr/X386/lib/X11/nls/nls.dir", RDONLY) = -1 (No such file or directory)
[pid 764]: open("/usr/X386/lib/X11/nls/nls.alias", RDONLY) = -1 (No such file or directory)
[pid 764]: open("/usr/X386/lib/X11/nls/nls.dir", RDONLY) = -1 (No such file or directory)
[pid 764]: open("/usr/X386/lib/X11/nls/nls.alias", RDONLY) = -1 (No such file or directory)
-> 764 - [SIGSEGV]
+ [SIGSEGV]
) (RESTARTNOHAND)
That is, it tries to open the nls files in /usr/X386 and then seg
faults when it fails to do so. For NetBSD, we currently have
/emul/linux/usr/X386 -> /usr/X11, but since we don't have
/usr/X11/lib/X11/nls, that doesn't help much.
Ethan: you can (probably) get things working, either from AFS or local
disk, by finding someone running XFree86 2.x and grabbing
/usr/X386/lib/X11/nls from their system. I guess you can even grab it
from the NetBSD X386 tar file we have, doing (as root):
attach -n netbsd
cd /
tar xzf /mit/netbsd/packages/X386.tar.gz usr/X386/lib/X11/nls
For linux-help and netbsd-dev: I'll talk to Reid about having the
Maple scripts set XNLSPATH to point into the Maple locker so that
these files can be found in the future.
