Hello!
A workstation - pws500au - gives the user a headache:
jack 39> ghostview ccm3-slp.ps
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached
ghostview: cannot open DISPLAY.
I see Xlib is complaining, but I think the numbers of /dev/pty* should be
increased:
jack /dev# uname -a; ls pty*|wc -l; ./MAKEDEV PTY 2
OSF1 jack V4.0 878 alpha
32
MAKEDEV: special file(s) for PTY:
MAKEDEV: unknown device in: PTY
What is wrong?
Here is a more detailed run of MAKEDEV as suggested in the man page:
jack /dev# sh -x MAKEDEV PTY 2|more
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/etc/yp:/etc/yp:/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/etc:/usr/etc:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/bin:/local/ssh/bin:/local/X11R5/bin:/local/bin/X11:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/ccs/bin:/local/bin:/local/etc/bin:/usr/bsd:/local/etc:/local/gnu/bin:/local/rcm/bin:/local/PRISS/bin:/local/adsm/bin:/local/samba/bin
