Hi all,

Just recently obtaining DigitalUnix V4.0 on a new machine, we migrated our developement to
the new machine. The problem been that DU4.0 is X11R6 complient. We develop software that we
wish to run on a DU V3.0B system. So compiling the software with shared or static X11R6
libraries, the application has problems running with X11R5.

Compiling using static libraries, we get the following X-Errors when run on DUV3.0b X11R5:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default


X Error:
        BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
        Serial number of request: 25
        Op Code: 18.0
        Error Code: 5
        Resource ID of failed request: 0
        on display <holly:0.0>.


X Error:
        BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
        Serial number of request: 44
        Op Code: 18.0
        Error Code: 5
        Resource ID of failed request: 0
        on display <holly:0.0>.
        
etc etc etc
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The program runs fine, but whenever you pop-up new windows it continues to give these errors.

If I run the same program compiled statically with X11R5 from a Du4.0b system on DU4.0 it has
no problems but the following error:

Xt Error (warning): Cannot convert string "button2_transfer" to type Boolean

"button2_transfer" is not used in our code so I assume it is comming from X11R5 libraries,
which X11R6 should be fully compatible with X11R5.


Has anybody had this problem of compiling with X11R6 and want to run the application with
X11R5. If so what would be the fix to get things working smoothly ???

I have been through the documention on CD but could not find anything helpful. Is the only
solution to have X11R5 installed on DU4.0 as well then compile the application using X11R5.

Thanks for any help
