Hi! I've grabbed all the necessary sets to run X-windows from the netbsd
site (xfonts, xbase etc), downloaded the xarm-33 archive, set up ln to use
/usr/X11R6/lib and set up a link from /usr/X11R6.3 > /usr/X11R6.

Now I get the following error when I execute 'startx'

I've tried copying /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt  to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb
but the error still occurs.

There were some postings related to this a while back but no solution was
posted - can it be solved, because I kinda need X :-) I've sent a CC of
this message to the original poster.

Many thanks

Andrew
