Solution: RE: can't see breakpoint and arrow pixmaps

I was finally able to resolve the issue after talking
with a few people. The solution was to change the color
settings on my PC. In other words, go into Display 
Properties, choose the Settings tab and change Colors:

High Color (16 bit) --> True Color (32 bit)

After making this change and restarting Exceed, the 
pixmaps display properly. I assume that Exceed was 
just running out of colors in the palette.

Thanks for you help, and hopefully this will help
someone else down the line....

Hi,

This problem comes up once a year or so -- seldom enough to make it impossible to track down, except on the reporter's machine.  I always test on a SPARC/Solaris machine before every release, and I've never seen it.  (My Sun's running Solaris-2.9.)

So I'm afraid I can't help -- the only things I can think of are:
- that your framebuffer is running out of colours, or
- that there's a bug in the X libraries (Do you have the most
  recent of Sun's patch bundles?)

Does "make check" work fine, and if "make install" shows the problem, then it is likely that an environment variable isn't set correctly.  But I've never seen problems of this nature.

Sorry, but that's all I can suggest...
Andrew
