[K12OSN] _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for ws253.ltsp

[Jim McQuillan]

Carl,

It's complaining that it can't talk to the client. Possibly a problem 
with the $DISPLAY variable.  So, lets see what your $DISPLAY is set to.

Near the top of your script, add this:

    echo "DISPLAY=$DISPLAY" >/tmp/display.out

Then, try running the script

After it fails, take a look in /tmp/display.out, see what DISPLAY was 
set to.  That might provide a clue on how to proceed.

It could also be that none of the X11 libraries are available.  I don't 
think you can use the standard system X11 libraries, because your 
program is linked against a much older version of glibc.  You may need 
to copy the X11 libs into your /usr/local/games/SC3U/loki_compat 
directory.  But, i've never actually tried doing what you are doing, so 
I could be wrong.
