Torrey,

Looks like you may have had the same sort of trouble that we are now having with regards to building a shared version of the lesstif libraries that link to a shared version of the Xt library. The particular error message, when starting a lesstif app is:

XmManager ClassInitialize: XmeTraitSet failed


Nicholas Wourms has been looking into this problem (his notes are below) and he seems to think that an OS/X-specific fix may have been made to one of the XFree86 libs to alleviate this problem with lesstif.


Do you recall anything related to this problem? If so, could you describe the fix or point us to a message describing the fix?

Thanks in advance,

Harold




*SIGH* I spoke too soon, after building nedit and trying some other tests, I'm experiencing the "XmManager ClassInitialize: XmeTraitSet failed" problem. Apparently the MacOSX people went through this ordeal last year, but unfortunately that doesn't help us. They had two solutions: 1) Pass "-force_flat_namespace" which is part of OSX's proprietary linker. 2) Downgrade to XFree86-4.1 libs of some sort or upgrade to latest cvs.

Of course, in-depth information on why this is happening is nonexistant,
all I could find were:
http://oroborosx.sourceforge.net/faq.html#q5p1
http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=8230372&list=8629

Given that information, I'm willing to bet that an OSX-only fix was
checked in sometime after July of last year to resolve this.  Finding
out what it is will be difficult I'm willing to bet.  Of course it could
just be Xt misbehaving or an auto-import/psuedo-ops failure.  Heh, oh
well, I'm going to further investigate this tommorrow...  Sorry that it
isn't working properly :-(.

One last thought, perhaps we should CC Brian Ford in on this since
another fresh perspective might be good.

Cheers,
Nicholas
