Understood. Pretty much the same reason I got into LessTif. I don't know much about LinuxPPC. Do you have any idea how X, libc, and LessTif were compiled? The interactor problems sound like some of the strange reports we've had when X was compiled with libc5, LessTif with libc6, or X was compiled with gcc 2.7.2 and LessTif with egcs, and many other different combinations. I'm not sure of the exact details, but it seems that mixing and matching compilers/libs is not a good idea. Best if all of the components get compiled with the same tools. It's not always easy to tell, but if the LinuxPPC dist. comes with X, and you haven't upgraded the compilers and you compiled LessTif on this machine, everything is probably matched fairly well.
I reproduced a couple of the "dumps", so I will start with those..... On 06-Dec-99 at 17:05, David L. Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > No, I can't use real Motif on the system with Lesstif.
