Why does mwm 1.2 crash on startup?
[Last modified: March 93] Answer: David Brooks wrote: The commonest cause of early mwm demise is as follows: – You, or someone, built Xlib in the default way using the Xsi internationalization functions. – Your Xlib wasn’t installed completely (or at all). – Early on, mwm calls the function XmbTextListToTextProperty, which calls _XConvertMBToCT, which looks for the Xsi locale database, finds it missing, ignores this fact and tries to dereference zero. The workaround is to find the database *somewhere*, and point the environment variable XNLSPATH at it.
