Two things come to mind.
The first is colors. Are you running netscape or some other color-hungry
application on the box BEFORE you start NetView?
Look in the nv6000.log and see if you see error message about being unable
to allocate colors. If so, then you must close the offending application
before you start NetView and then restart it afterward. If it is netscape,
then you can request a private color map by starting with the -install
parameter.
The second is your LIBPATH. Are you starting the map with the command
"netview" or "ovw"? On AIX 4.3.3 the default Motif libraries are X11R6 and
those still have bugs in them. The netview script resets the LIBPATH so
that the tried-and-true R5 libraries are searched first. If you use just
"ovw" then you have to set the LIBPATH yourself.

Subject: [NV-L] Hidden Map
All,
I'm running NV 6.0.2 on AIX 4.3.3. For some unexplicable reason, the
netview map is hidden after I start netview. Where the map should be,
there is just a gray field. However, objects are clickable and submaps can
be opened, but I have to click at random to find them, and when the submaps
come up, those are "blank" as well. The icons on the left side are black
squares with nothing visible inside, but seem to function properly when
clicked. This is a test machine in a lab, so I don't know what others may
have done to the machine since I initially installed netview, but I don't
know what anyone could possibly do to make netview act like this.
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.
