Now I am dealing with linking problems. It seems like I didn't intalled the make utility and all its library. I = used the AIX 4.3.3 CD's to install and I can't find the missing parts in = them. Do you have any idea of where I should look for this???? To be more direct: The directories /usr/ccs/bin and /usr/ccs/lib in this test enviroments = have less than a half than the production machine. I guess there is where my problems origin.

Sometimes these are done by default on a workstation, so when you startup a program remotely they may be new to you. First you have to tell the program where to display. It can display on any X compatible terminal on the internet, believe it or not. You tell = it by setting the DISPLAY environment variable like this: $ export DISLAY=3D192.168.0.1:0.0 The 0.0 part specifies the display on that terminal, as there may be = more than one (leave it to unix, nothings ever simple :-) ) Next you have to make that display ACCESSIBLE by that program. = Normally on a workstation, if you're the user running the program, and the same = as the user who started X, there's no problem. Otherwise you have to do = some permutation like this: $ xhost + localhost or possibly $ xhost + 192.168.0.1 or this $ xhost + my.host.domain One more important thing. This xhost command has to be run on the = machine where you're going to display your prgram, *AS* the user which started = X, otherwise you won't have the proper permissions (except if you're = root). I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more explanation.
