GKS help wanted

[Doug Meade]

I have recently been attempting to install GKS in the Mathematics
Department.  I am able to compile all the source programs, but hvae not
been able to get any of the examples to work.

I am able to create executable modules for the C examples (ex##.c,
star.c).  However, they do not produce the expected output. For example,

	meade at neumann-113> ex01
	SunGKS: Couldn't get shared memory: Invalid argument
	Be sure that your kernel is configured for shared memory
	gkstool: can't start input
	SunGKS: Couldn't get shared memory: Invalid argument
	Be sure that your kernel is configured for shared memory
		*** GKS window appears on screen for ~1 second ***
	SunGKS: can't start input
	SunGKS: Can't create a new surface
	Error 26 in function: Open Workstation
	Specified workstation cannot be opened.
	Error 6 in function: Activate Workstation
	GKS not in proper state; GKS shall be in state WSOP or WSAC.
	Error 5 in function: Polyline
	GKS not in proper state; GKS shall be in state WSAC or SGOP.
	Error 7 in function: Message
	GKS not in proper state; GKS shall be in state WSOP, WSAC or SGOP.
		*** delay of ~5 seconds before next messages appear ***
	Error 3 in function: Deactivate Workstation
	GKS not in proper state; GKS shall be in state WSAC.
	Error 25 in function: Close Workstation
	Specified workstation is not open.

Any ideas about what I need to change to get this to run properly?

A more pressing concern is the FORTRAN examples (duck.f, iron.f). These do
not create executable modules; the loader is unable to locate a symbol
with the name do_lio. For example,

	meade at neumann-146> f77 -I/p2/gks/include duck.f /p2/gks/lib/libgks77.a
		/p2/gks/lib/libgks.a -lsuntool -lsunwindow -lpixrect -lm -o duck
	duck.f:
	 MAIN fortduck:
	ld: Undefined symbol 
	   _do_lio 
	meade at neumann-147> 

I have been unable to locate any archive with do_lio. Can anybody inform
me of the source for such a symbol? Once I am able to create will I have
the same difficulties as with the C examples?  I am running SunOS4.1 on a
Sun 3/360. If you need further information concerning my setup, please
ask.  I do not read this group, so please respond via e-mail.

Thanks in advance,
