DDE DEBUGGER

[Pravin B]

Hi

I am working on HPUX 11.0. I am getting errors while executing dde debugger, version 4.23.
I am getting following errors and it hangs.

> dde
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath)
Serial number of failed request: 60
Current serial number in output stream: 61

--------------------------------------------

I don't have dde Files such as .dderc , .ddeguirc.
Whether these files are required?

I tried following commands but it still giving me same errors.

dde -display DISPLAY_MACHINE.0
dde X_options

Thank you.

If you are running dde on a HP server (s800) system, but displaying it remotely it (say on a PC) then you may need to do a few things :

setup a fontserver on the s800 system : configure the PC X client to use it !

If this is the case use search facility on this page : look for info on xfs and fontserver ... should be enough to get you going. If not give more details of your X enviroment :

if not a typo in original post also try dde -display :0.0 or :0.0 ?

Hi,

1. Setup your HP server as a font server. Vi /etc/rc.config.d/xfs and start the fint server by issuing the command

/sbin/init.d/xfs start

2. On the machine where you wish to run dde:
xset fp+ tcp/hp_ux_server_hostname:7000
or set the font path in your PC X-Server software.


Hope this helps,
Rik.

Hello,

I would first try and see if the problem is wuith the debugger or the display.

You can try running "dde -ui line "
to invoke non-gui dde. If that does not succeed u have a problem with the debugger itself.

You can also try using wdb (gdb) debugger.

Thanks
