Any version of Tix from 4.1.0.6 up should probably work with SN, because there
were no incompatable changes introduced as it went from 4.1.0.6 to 8.1.1.

If you are building Tcl from sources (I guess 8.1.x for SN), build Tix from
source
too (tix 8.1.1 from http://tix.sourceforge.net ), and rename the resulting
library file to whatever the SN build procedure is looking for - if it's
looking for libtix4181.a, then rename it to that.  Tix should work the same
no matter what it's called, and
more recent versions have more bug fixes.

Mike.

The Source-Navigator source download comes with all the
required software already bundled. There is no need to
download anything else from other sites.

Title: 



Mo, just started work at Unisphere Networks in Westford Mass. 
Code base at old place of work was all C++. Lots of parser and xref problems; 
you probably remember some of my email. New job all JAVA. Dbimp croaks, can't 
build xref, etc. My experience with SN is that it can't parse or build xref's 
for anything but the simplest of standard C code bases. It doesn't parse C++ or 
Java in any of the last three places I've worked at. And no, I can't let you 
have any of the code bases (they don't belong to me). No, I can't afford to pay 
Redstone to fix these problems (I paid $500 for SN 4.5.1 one month before it 
went public domain, and I sort of figured bug fixing and maintenance were part 
of what I paid for). No, I can't fix these problems myself; I spend all of my 
time (50-60 hrs/week) bringing home a paycheck.
So...instead of talking about code base search and replace, why 
doesn't someone at RedHat fix some of these serious problems? I haven't been 
able to get an xref of any code base in any language (except a simple std C grep 
I wrote years ago) for over three years. Pardon my frustration, but I really 
wish I had my money back. Any chance of that?

Source Navigator 5 and Red Hat 7.1

[Tom Davis]

Hello,

I'm having a bit of trouble installing source navigator 5 on my redhat box.  
The compile fails because I don't have Tix version 4.1.8.1 installed, but 
instead have version 4.1.0.6-53 installed.

I have tried  the tix website (somewhere on the sourceforge site), but can't 
see this version, only version 8 and above.  Has anyone got any suggestions 
to get round this?

I would be happy to send some more information should you need it.

Thanks in advance, 

Tom Davis
