# To subscribers of the xforms list from weiner@mcci-arl-va.com (Joel Weiner) :

Hello again,

First, thanks to all who replied, I appreciate the quick response.

To answer some of the questions posed:
1. I have the static version of the X11 library (libX11.a).
2. the undefine symbol error is as follows:

Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
XSolarisIASetProcessInfo /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.a(OpenDis.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to act_ui

3. It definitely is not an xhost permission problem. The error I get is:
./act_ui: Can't open display blah:0--Invalid argument

4. I am linking with xpm - these are not new applications, they
have been running reliably under 2.5 for almost a year.

My current library link list is as follows:
-Bstatic -lact_gui -lxf_cmn -lforms -lcmnmc -lXpm -lX11 -lm -lsocket -lnsl -lw -lintl -Bdynamic -ldl

lact_gui, lxf_cmn, and lcmnmc are my libs, the rest are system libs.

If I change the link list as follows, everything links and runs, but I
would really prefer to link as much statically as possible.

-Bstatic -lact_gui -lxf_cmn -lforms -lcmnmc -lXpm -Bdynamic -lX11 -Bstatic -lm -lsocket -lnsl -lw -lintl -Bdynamic -ldl

Thanks,
JW
