Hello.

I encountered the problem of displaying motif graphics windows on a client
machine running Solaris 2.6 from a server where Splus6 is running under
linux (RedHat 7.x).

I got the following error message: (the client machine name is godzilla).

******
> motif("-display godzilla:0.0")
X11 Protocol Error : BadWindow (invalid Window parameter).
Problem in .C("S_send_ps_int",: Current graphics device died: remove it with 
dev.off(), while calling subroutine S_send_ps_int 
Use traceback() to see the call stack

> traceback()
9: eval(action, sys.parent())
8: doErrorAction("Problem in .C(\"S_send_ps_int\",: Current graphics device 
died: remove it with dev.off(), while calling subroutine S_send_ps_int",
7: .C("S_send_ps_int",
6: ps.options.send(force = T)
5: eval(this.call, local = sys.parent(1.))
4: do.call("ps.options.send", opts$matches)
3: pipegraph(name = "motif", pars = as.single(tpar), npars = length(tpar))
2: motif("-display godzilla:0.0")
1: 
Message: Problem in .C("S_send_ps_int",: Current graphics device died: remove 
it with dev.off(), while calling subroutine S_send_ps_int 
******

However, I can run Splus6 on Solaris 2.6 machine and remotely display on linux
machines (RedHat 7.x) without any problem.
I also can run Splus6 on linux machines and remotely display on other linux
machines without any problem.

So, in summary,

Server:  Solaris 2.6 |  RedHat 7.x   |  RedHat 7.x  |  Solaris 2.6
Client:  Solaris 2.6 |  Solaris 2.6  |  RedHat 7.x  |  RedHat 7.x 
------: -------------|---------------|--------------|--------------
Result:     Yes      |      No       |    Yes       |    Yes


I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me any suggestions or help!

Sincerely yours,
Naoki Saito
