I encountered a problem in a program I've installed. The error is :
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
%DWT-F-DWTABORT, xtoolkit fatal error
I understand that this error can occur if the .UIL file cannot be
opened. However, I wrote a small test file that opened the .UID
successfully. Assuming that the code I recieved works, and the
people who sent it to me say it does, can I get this error for
any other reason? Like maybe system parameters, or insufficient
resources.
I'm running VMS 5.3, and NETED BL7.
thanks,
John

When I run into this type of problem, I usually fallback to running a
small Xlib program to find out what the error is, because the toolkit
doesn't print out useful messages about the source of the problem.
So, try RUN DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO.EXE. If that works, then the problem
with your application. Otherwise, either your SET DISPLAY was wrong,
or your Security list wasn't setup correctly.
