[SUMMARY:] GKS6.5 Installation failed / no fonts

Hi,

There seems to be a need of the phigs - RT or DV Kit to
 be installed and the workaround may be to install phigs ( rt,V5.1/0)
 before installing gks.
 I found it in the gks-default config file:
 under
 cat /usr/kits/GKR650/usr/lib/GKS/.GKSdefaults
 there is a pointer to
 GKSstroke_font1 : /usr/lib/GFX/font/gfx_font_neg1 # Stroke font
 ... this GFX Directory is part of the phigs kit, which I have normally
 installed ... Still there is a problem with exiting gks - leaving a
core - file doing some gks$rundown routines .

Greetings Rainer


Thanx to Thomas P. Blinn
