I've compiled and installed X11R5 on our RS6000 320H (AIX 3.2.1), and it worked
fine. Then I messed up with some InfoExplorer databases and reinstalled some of
the packages from the install tapes. Now X11R5 clients fail to open display
unix:0 while local:0 (and of course localhost:0 and `hostname`:0) work fine.
AIXwindows clients work with both the original and the X11R5 server, so I guess
it's not a problem of unix domain sockets in general.
Did anyone encounter the same problems? Or better yet, does anybody know what
I may have messed up?

Thnx, Andy

Well, we had the same problem. The solution was to copy libX11.a from
our 3.1 machines to the 3.2 system. No idea why the 3.2 code fails to
work.

Hope it helps,
Werner
