Nope, it does not contradict each other. It doesn't say "...movd to the end of the search list.", after all, but "...added to the end of the search list." > This is not quite what is written there, but it seems to work like that. If that is true, then it's a bug I'd say. There is a good reason why added dependencies are to be added at the end. >I tried to put -L/sw/lib -lXm before any *.o in the command line, and >the message changed, the order between libXm and libXt was respected in >this case. > >But this did not yet help with the "DropSiteManager" error. > >I found a message where someone solved this problem on BeOS, but what he >says is way over my head: >http://www.mail-archive.com/lesstif@hungry.com/msg01460.html Yes, that's basically the same thing. In this case, he "solved" it by using static libs, but I don't see this as a good option, only as a last-chance-resort. Let us look at it from this point: It all used to work. Then came XFree86 4.2.0 and it stopped to work. Now, what exactly changed to make it stop work, I wonder? The only thing that varied where the XFree libs. So we should maybe take a peek and check if we can find some differences... I have both XFree86 versions installed on different partitions, maybe I can uncover something during weekend.
