I'm trying to move to 2.1.116 from a 2.0.34 RedHat 5.1/Intel
install. I've updated all the software the instructions mention to
versions at least as recent as the docs request. Everything seems to
build (using egcs 1.0.3a) and run fine but my XWindows won't operate. I
get the beginnings of X with my cursor visible and moving but the window
manager never starts. When I switch to the text screen the following
error msgs keep scrolling by:

_X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for local
_X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: unable to open socket for local
_X11TransOpen: transport open failed for local/vai.switchco.com:0

My networking is running just fine so I'm not at all certain what
the issue is. Any ideas?

thanx & later,
