I have tested installing the package 'arb' from the repository and was able to run 'arb' which opened a motif window. Although not being familiar with the application, I didn't test any further.
I was also able to build arb 5.3-4ubuntu1 from source. ** Description changed: - [FFe] Please consider the patch attached to comment #3 for a Feature + [FFe] Please consider the patch attached to comment #7 for a Feature Freeze exception. [IMPACT] Libmotif4 is required by some commercial applications; Xilinx FPGA Editor 12.1, Fluent Inc. Gambit 2.4.6, ANSYS 13 (display and lsprepost), Citrix Receiver client, etc. Not all software is available for both architectures, so in some cases installing libmotif for amd64 and i386 side-by-side is required. [Test Cases] The archive attached to comment #4 contains executables Xmtest-libmotif4-i386 and Xmtest-libmotif4-amd64. Install packages libmotif4 and libmotif4:i386 and verify that both Xmtest-libmotif4-i386 and Xmtest-libmotif4-amd64 execute. [Regression Potential] - Minimal: this change applies to the building of a library. Libmotif4 has no dependents within Ubuntu that need a test-rebuild. + Minimal: this change applies to the building of a library. Libmotif4 has only one reverse-dependency, arb, that needs a test-rebuild. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trying to install libmotif as prereq for Citrix receiver client.
