How do I run both OpenWindows and MIT X11R5?

Note: OW2 is compatible with X11R3+, OW3 is compatible with X11R4. To get X11R5(or R4) applications to run under Openwindows you will need to set the appropriate LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Assuming you installed the MIT libraries in /usr/lib and the OpenWindows libraries are in /usr/openwin/lib, set the following before you start the windowing system: MIT X11R4 environment set path = (/usr/bin/X11 $path) setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib OpenWindows set path = (/usr/openwin/bin /usr/openwin/demo $path) setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/openwin/lib You can also run clients from one environment under a different server on a one command at a time basis. This example runs a OpenWindows client under the MIT server: (setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/openwin/lib; x_soundtool) A better way to handle this(in the long run) is to re-compile the X server clients to include a “hard” coded shared library search path. You will need to link the clients with -L option. For example, if your X11 libraries are installed in /usr
