RE: Non-fatal error message "RGB_DB"

[Harold Hunt <Harold at compasstechnologies dot com>]

I figured it out; package xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 contains the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/X11/rgb.txt.  Without this file TWM uses a color scheme
that has text being the same color as the background color, with the file,
TWM uses a color scheme that is readable and usable.  XFCE does not exhibit
the text color problem, but XFCE does look a lot better with the rgb.txt
file in place.

So, I suppose that I have to list xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 as a required
download, eh?  That's rather unfortunate, as only a single 17kB file is
needed from that 28MB archive.

Should we repackage rgb.txt in one of the other archives, or leave it as is?

Subject: Non-fatal error message "RGB_DB"

Following my installation how-to instructions exactly, I still receive the
following non-fatal error when XWin.exe launches:

"Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb' "

Any ideas why?  Am I missing a package in my list of packages to download?
If so, which package?

The current list of packages to download in my how-to is as follows:
xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar.bz2
xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2
xfree86-4.0-Xterm.tar.bz2
xfree86-4.0-Xwin.tar.bz2
xfree86-4.0-Prog.tar.bz2
