X11 6.6.2 Xsun patch incompatible with imaging applications - Solaris 10
Hello,
I am running Sol 10 11/06 on a Sun Blade (64-bit). After installing patch 119059-27, an imaging application that is vital to my workflow will no longer run. I get a Segmentation Fault.
The application is ENVI Freelook, and is available for free at:
http://rsinc.com/download/download.asp?searchstring=FreeLook&ProductVersion =All+Products
Neither the 64- or 32-bit Sparc versions of Freelook will now work. After removing the patch, reverting to patch level 119059-25, Freelook will work again. If Freelook doesn't run, it is probable that IDL, a high-level programming language, and ENVI, a popular imaging application written in IDL, also will not work with the new Xsun patch. This is not good.
Is there a workaround for this problem? Or shall I just wait for the next version, hoping that the problem won't recur? Is this the right forum to post this problem?
