I have never heard of this happening.
Try again without the "&" and see if you get more informative
printout.
If that doesn't help, check that Pop-11 runs and see if it
can create a graphical window.
Type in an xterm window, to the shell:
pop11
That should print out something like
Sussex Poplog (Version 15.53 Mon Aug 21 18:11:38 BST 2000)
Copyright (c) 1982-1999 University of Sussex. All rights reserved.
Setpop
:
To the Pop-11 prompt(the colon) type this to load the rc_graphic
library:
uses rc_graphic;
then to create a graphic window:
rc_start();
That should create a window with title 'Xgraphic' in which you can draw
by giving commands like
rc_drawline(-100, 100, 150, 150);
You can exit pop11 with CTRL-D.
If rc_start() does not create the window, I suspect you have a window
manager problem.
Maybe you can try setting resources for Xved in your .Xdefaults
file or whatever you use, e.g. I use this:
XVed*geometry: 80x30+10+10
That should make xved produce a window with 80 columns and 30
lines of text, with top left corner at screen location 10,10.
If that doesn't work, I have no idea what will. maybe someone else who
uses gnome can comment. I use only ctwm as my window manager, being a
reactionary old fuddy duddy.
