As a follow-up, it appears that the only reason for the failure
is lack of a sun4x_56 directory underneath arch. (Someone has
already thrown in a sgi_62 directory, so 8.2 IRIX machines will
work.) (Netsacpe 4.x works because it uses "athdir" to locate
the bin directory, instead of using the value of "$ATHENA_SYS".)
I believe that creating a symlink would solve the problem.
(
ln -s sun4m_54 /afs/.athena/software/infoagents/arch/sun4x_56
)
