-----------------------------------------------------------------
as a X newbee, i experimented with Xresources and succeeded setting my
preferences. Everthing was ok for a few days. Today i downloaded
pcmcia, booted linux, compiled pcmcia, and started X. from then my
Xresources isnt anymore read correctly. xrdb gives the following error
in .xsession-errors. I also get it when i run xrdb under X from xterm:
euclides# xrdb
xrdb: cannot run '/lib/cpp -traditional -Dlinux -D__i386__
-D_POSIX_SOURCE-D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -DX_LOCALE

/lib/cpp exists (link to /usr/bin/cpp, /usr/bin/cpp exists).
xrdb -load /etc/X11/Xresources gives the same error
running the command /lib/cpp -traditional -Dlinux -D__i386__ .....
reads from stdin, after ctrl-d gives some output. so starting the command
doesn't seem to be a problem.
can someone help?
thx.
