Hello list,

 Would anybody know if there exists an opendx rpm file for
 RH7.1 on alpha somewhere?

 Since I could not find one, I tried to compile opendx from the source.
 I had to install both rpm's

lesstif-1.2-devel-0.89.9-2
lesstif-0.89.9-2

 and make many modifications to the makefiles to point to   

 -I/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/include

 Also I had to add the following piece of code to the file  WorkspaceP.h

#ifdef OLD_LESSTIF
 #define OLD_LESSTIF 0
#endif

 After many warning messages from the compiler (gcc) on casting pointers
 to doubles and integers etc, I've got the code compiled, linked and
 installed.

 I can run dx on scripts ( dx -script myscript ) but it crashes if under the 
 GUI environment.

 When I first fire up dx I get the Welcome and Data Explorer windows, then 
 I click on the Edit Visual Programs... button; after that I select a 
particular 
 .net file (it does work on intel machines) from the Net File Selection 
 window and click OK. The Visual Program Editor window shows up really quickly
 and an another window with an error message shows up and goes away immediately.
 Then I see on the prompt line the messages

ls

 Would anybody have any clue on how to get opendx fully working on
 an alpha/RH7.1 machine?

 Thanks,
