An easy lead in would be - install Ubuntu (or use it live I guess) - install libmotif-dev - download and build NEdit - marvel at the missing dependencies.¹ I can't even find out whether the package has a maintainer, but there are some bugs that seems to be pertinent: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nedit/+bug/157917 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nedit/+bug/149371 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nedit/+bug/96536 Please note that I'm not aware of any proof that this is actually a misbuilt OM. I just connected the dots, namely the reports that it is nearly unusable, the basic error in the package¹ and the stability of OM elsewhere. If it turns out to be NEdit's fault, please get back to us soon. The discussion on NEdit's mailing list starts about here: http://www.nedit.org/pipermail/discuss/2007-November/009418.html Thanks! ¹: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openmotif/+bug/179851 Thorsten -- Rarely do we find people who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking.
