Hi Hector,
The system function has *NOTHING* to do with lesstif.
The system function is a part of your system libraries.
For this kind of problem please refer to more appropriate
mailing lists/newsgroups.
Also please do some basic research before you contact anyone
else ( e.g. run the command "man system" or check any unix/linux
programming books which you may have ).
Looking forward to hearing about your lesstif experiences,
CP
