I have Solaris 2.4 (or Sunos 5.4 or whatever they are calling it this
week) on my Sparcstation 330. The architecture is SUN4 as opposed to
Sun4m or Sun4u etc.... The openboot prom is the old style so no 'OK'
message, just a wedge (>).
I have installed Netscape and get the following message when I execute
it.
# ./netscape
xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Error: Can't open display: :0.0
Other programs such as ADMINTOOL run fine. I can ping and have name
services over my lan via a default router (192.168.0.3) and ftp'd
Netscape onto the machine from ftp.netscape.com so I know things are
working. The installation gave me a completion messages without snags.
What more do I need to do?
Thanks all

You don't have DISPLAY set and it is choking. Depending on shell set the
environment variable to DISPLAY to localhost:0 or an equivalent, make sure
that xhost knows about localhost and authorizes it to open the display and
then start netscape.

This is an X problem. Are you running an X server? The error
message indicates that netscape can't connect to the X server
running on your workstation. Since you appear to have your
display set correctly, my first guess is that the X server
isn't running. The other possibility is that the X server
is running under a different user id. This would happen if
you su or login as another user after the server has been
started for the current session.

Right on. I did a search on Deja for this error. "XHOST +" from a
command line fixes it. I'm up and running!
BTW, Netscape 4.72 on solaris 2.4 looks really really good. I was
surprised.

There is an X auth command call IIRC 'xhost' that
dis/allows connections like that. 'xhost +' typically
cleared up tyhose type of things but watch it since
that allows all.
