I couldn't find an address to send this to, so I just sent it to the list...
You _cannot_ use a library compiled with libc5 on a libc6, aka glib2, based
system. RedHat 6.2 is such a system. You need to get the libc6 compiled version
of LessTif, or get the source and compile it yourself. To compile programs
linked to LessTif on a RedHat 6 system you probably need
lesstif-0.XX.X-1.i386.rpm
and
lesstif-devel-0.XX.X-1.i386.rpm

/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5: the 'llseek' function may be dangerous;
use `lseek64' instead.

/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5: the 'gets' function is dangerous and
should not be used.
