Hi all, See below. (I have added another developer from the OpenMotif team to the CC list. Please include him in followups since he is not on the Nedit list.)

Just to be sure we understand this. 1. Where did you find the above two rpms? I double checked our ftp site and didn't see them. 2. What is the nature of the problem. Is it that those rpms are 32 bit and you need a native 64 bit version? > > Or is there something more recent which I have not found? > Because the only thing for Fedora that I can find here: > http://www.motifzone.net/index.php > (which is where openmotif.org directs downloads to) are FC5 > and FC6 packages.

We need to either build OM 2.3 on Core 7 and Core 8 or validate that the current binaries Core 6 version work on 7 and 8. Yura, can you make this happen? Since Core 9 is not released yet, I suspect we will wait on that one. > > By the way, if openmotif were to support business Linux > users, I would expect support for current Redhat Enterprise > Linux.

Unless my information is out of date, Red Hat continues to ship their own builds of OpenMotif on their Enterprise versions. Turns out that a *lot* of commericial software, including some very well known commericial database systems, continue to use Motif in certain areas.... Consequently, since Red Hat ships it on Enterprise, we don't create a special build. > -- > NEdit Develop mailing list - [email protected] > http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/develop -- NEdit Develop mailing list - [email protected] http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/develop
