Notes for xmaple

On all the machines, you will see the following warning, which can be ignored.


     X Toolkit Warning:
         Name: menuitem
         Class: XmToggleButtonGadget
         Illegal mnemonic character;  Could not convert X KEYSYM to a keycode

On the linux machines, xmaple may die with a Segmentation fault. To work around this, specify the X display using the numerical IP address of the host. The host is the machine named in the DISPLAY variable; it may be the machine in front of which you are sitting, or it may be the remote machine (e.g. when using ssh -X). The IP address may be obtained by the command host. For example:


stever@toro{stever}xmaple
Segmentation fault
stever@toro{stever}echo $DISPLAY
toro:11.0
stever@toro{stever}host toro
toro.cs.mcgill.ca   	A	132.206.3.109
stever@toro{stever}xmaple -display 132.206.3.109:11.0
