Hi,
Finally I had time to solve this mistery.

Some months ago I suggested running Yabasic in
Baslinux.
Someone compiled 2 versions:
one old version monochromatic and
one new version with full color support.

The old version runs fine but is limited to
monochromatic graphics (only 2 colors).
This version is in the Add-ons section of the web
page.

The new version runs in text mode, but as soon as
you try to open a graphics window it aborts with an
error about failing to set a font.

Finally I solved the problem by removing the library
libX11.so.6 that comes with BasLinux and replacing it
with the one included in Slackware 4.0
Once you replace that Library, the color version of
Yabasic runs fine with any X server.

So I assume that the libX11.so.6 that comes with
BasLinux is missing some function for querying or
setting fonts.

The BL3 libX11.so.6 is about 585K versus 760K for the SW40/SW39 one.
Perhaps the larger one could go into the next x-libs.tgz.

The larger one still does not work with xpdf: undefined symbol _xstat. How difficult is it to compile just libX11.so.6.1 for libc5, or can it be done statically against uclibc?

Bye!
