Hello group, I'm having some trouble with Mathematica 2.2 on the Indy (IRIX 5.2). There are three problems which I expect are interrelated. 1) I have 24 bit color and the X Environment window sees only 8 bit depth. Changing the *windowDepth in XMathematica has no effect even though other prameters can be changed via this file (eg. lpr -> lp, and background color). 2) Live[ ] doesn't work. A Mathematica Live window gets spawned and then goes away - no error message No beep. I have also uncommented the code in Motif.m related to Live[] animations and get no change. 3. Watching the console during the launching of Mathematica gives the message: "Cannot read application resources file: ./Resources.app.mb. Was the Mathematica X Front End installed correctly? Is your X Resource *ApplicationResourcesDirectory set correctly? It looks like . to me." I have re-installed the front end and I "thought" I got it right. Additionally, permissions on Resources.app.mb indicate is is readable by everyone. This is especially puzzling since Resources.app.mb is in the FrontEnd directory and the path listed in *ApplicationResourcesDirectory is correct as is the path listed in the XEnvironment help page. Other things that may help in figuring this out - I have no .Xdefaults or init.m or XMathematica in my home directory. I realize that this isn't a general purpose MMA post but I've been at this for a while and I could use some help. Thanks. -- Tyler S.
