xgterm: no available ptys

Guest wrote on Mar 30, 2007

Hello Iraf!
I have found this problem when try to launch xgterm (1.3.1-bin.lnux) on
my Slackware 11.0 with 2.6.20.4 kernel.
In the kernel config file I have enebled those options which you recomended:
"Until now the only solution was to rebuild the kernel to enable the old
pty behavior by turning on the CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS and CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS
flags in the kernel configuration file, or from the 'Character Devices'
menu of the linux kernel configuration GUI"
CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=256
CONFIG_PRINTER=y
But it's did'n resolve the problem.
So I have downloaded your patched version for Fedora from
http://iraf.noao.edu/new_stuff/xgterm_fedora.html and it's working.

Best regards
Dmitrij.

The .fedora version works well on Debian sarge, too.
