Hi Pat, Thanks again for your quick - and comprehensive - reply. So I should be OK to run i586 files then?
I'm sorry my error messages seem strange to you too :( The rpm files were downloaded from Sourceforge, and one of the platforms they should run on is Suse. The error messages I get seem to suggest that the .so. files I am missing are not included in the rpms. If they're not, what would your advise be? Yes, it probably is surprising that Motif or LessTif is not included in Suse. I'm no expert, but know from other Suse users that I need to install it separately. You're right, my distro's a few years old - but it should still run (it's not microsoft). Lotte > > That's a weird packaging, for sure.
