I built Xastir under 7.10 (in a virtual machine). There is a usable version of OpenMotif in the ubuntu repositories. It has always been the case that you had to enable the "multiverse" repository to get at OpenMotif, but it is still there and still works. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
