I am building X11R6.4 on solaris 2.6. I seems to build fine.
The problem I am having is with tunneling back an x client
using ssh. I am using ssh-1.2.27 and it was built with --x-includes a
nd x-libraries pointing to the newly build X11R6.4 installation.
So after I build the X11 distribution and install
it, I ssh over to the system with the newly built X11R6.4.
I then try to run an x client like xterm. I get the following
error.
boris:> ./xterm
Error: Can't open display: boris:12.0
I have done a truss on the ./xterm and
Found the following.

stat("/tmp/.X11-pipe/X12", 0xEFFFEF78) Err#2 ENOENT
open("/scratch/X11R6.4/lib/X11/XtErrorDB", O_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT

getuid() = 1584 [1584]
getuid() = 1584 [1584]
Error: write(2, " E r r o r : ", 7) = 7
Can't open display: boris:12.0write(2, " C a n ' t o p e n d".., 29)
= 29

Ssh sets up the DISPLAY variable to boris:12.0, which is what it
is suppose to do to tunnel X.
But the .X11-pipe is actually as follows.
/tmp/.X11-pipe/X0
Which is as expected. Anybody run into this before and
if so solved it?
TIA,
Jaime
