Hey Mark! Dude, only binary was EVER distributed by xaudio.com. After they removed it from their web site (or ftp site), they forced all other mirrors to remove it as well. The source was never made available as it contained very likely prorietary algorithms. So, No, I was NOT trying to build the application. All I can tell you is the application works with the Lesstiff libs and not with any of the openmotif or open_motif libs.
What you site as an incompatibility of motif 1.2 with later motifs sounds plausible. What motif version is the latest lesstif compatible with? As I indicated in my email, I installed lesstif-0.93.36_1 and it (mxaudio) worked. So, you are effectively saying that lesstif-0.93.36_1 is binary compatible with motif 1.2? I hope the lesstif development group does not do anything to change that.
Cheers,
Joe

Joe,
The tar file included only the binaries? Was source available?
If you were trying to build the application using the binaries you provided, then that explains a lot. The application was originally built against Motif 1.2. Lesstif is binary compatible with Motif 1.2. Hence, you were able to substitute lesstif for the original Motif 1.2 libraries. However, Motif 2.1 is *not* binary compatible with Motif 1.2 based applications. Now that I think of it, the type conversion error is a pretty typical sympthom of a missmatch of Motifs.

Subject: Re: [Lesstif] Thanks!!
Well, the case in point is the old mxaudio program which was originally available from xaudio.com until they took it off their ftp server. I am attaching a bzipped copy for you to try the same sequence of installations of various motif libs. Be sure you DO NOT HAVE LESSTIF installed when trying the other motif libs.

Joseph,
I'm part of the OpenMotif support team. Would a sample case be available
so
that we could look into your problem? I suspect it related to OM being
Motif
2.1 and lesstif being 1.2, but a test case would help sort things out.
Thanks!
Mark

Subject: [Lesstif] Thanks!!
I have an old graphical audio application which uses the motif libs. I had installed openmotif-2.2.2 and that did not work. The app I have kept belching out the message:
Warning: No type converter registered for 'String' to 'Proc' conversion. X Error of failed request: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC) Resource id in failed request: 0x1600077 Serial number of failed request: 1776 Current serial number in output stream: 1777
So, I de-installed openmotif-2.2.2 and installed open-motif-2.2.2_1 which did not help either.
I deinstalled that and installed openmotif-2.1.30-1_IST, and same problem.
Finally I installed lesstif-0.93.94 and that fixed the problem.
Thanks to the lesstif development group.
Cheers,
Joe
