Harold,
My PC is part of a domain. I am also part of the Administrators group of my
machine.
An 'ls -l *.dll' gives the following result if I do it just after
un-tarring:
-rw-r--r-- 1 oja None 72704 Jul 16 19:30 libICE.dll
-rw-r--r-- 1 oja None 203776 Jul 16 19:30 libPEX5.dll
-rw-r--r-- 1 oja None 29184 Jul 16 19:30 libSM.dll
An important difference with your result is that the owner is myself instead
of "administ". This is due to the fact that my bash prompt is "oja@Pc_oja"
instead of "administrator@Pc_oja" (and I don't remember how to change this).
Now I have reduced the necessary command for correct initialization of X to
'chmod u+x *.dll'
Of course, I can get the same result by adding "Execute (X)" permission for
user OJA on all these files using the GUI of Win NT.
I hope you will find this information useful.
