Hello,
In response to barad at dauphine.ee.tulane.edu
# This is not so bad if I don't have xcalc to use. What is more
# important is that the server doesn't work properly as shown when I
# startup using the command line:
#
# xinit -- /usr/bin/X11/XmacII -logo -v -screen 1 -depth 8
#
# What happens is the following:
#
# Getting interface configuration: Can't assign requested address
#
# Fatal server bug!
# ioctl I_STR VIDEO_MAP_SLOT failed
# XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "#@"
# after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
# The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.
#
# Can anyone help out here? Should I not use gcc? This is the gcc I
# picked up already made from apple.com. Any help is appreciated.
I also had this problem. After posting a message I received:

## You must run fixincludes -- the gcc preprocessor otherwise mangles
## various constants used in ioctl calls. Alternatively, compile the
## server/ddx/mac and server/os/4.2bsd directories using the stock A/UX
## C compiler.
I downloaded fixincludes, from a local machine, and ran the script.
It created several header files. After re-compiling X11R4,
everything worked fine. (But xcalc was still broken - sorry)
Hope this clears up your server problems also.
