Hi,
I'm running gentoo and have gone through considerable efforts to upgrade my system to the latest lesstif then openmotif in order to try to get regex-coach to run. I still get the message below, which is interesting since the latest lesstif release is .93.94 and the latest openmotif is 2.1.3 . How can this be linux software and require libs that aren't available for linux?
Error: Motif version string ("@(#)Motif Version 2.1.30") indicates invalid library version.

The latest stable OpenMotif release is 2.2.2 - see
The docs for Regex Coach mention that you need 2.2 or higher.
I haven't checked in the last weeks (I currently have to use SuSE) but my old Gentoo installation has a file
/usr/portage/x11-libs/openmotif/openmotif-2.2.2-r3.ebuild
dated December 02, 2003.
Lesstif should work but probably only if you remove OpenMotif first. Let me know if it doesn't.
How can this be linux software and require libs that aren't available for linux?
What is "Linux"? AFAIK it's just the kernel. Recent versions of OpenMotif clearly come bundled with several Linux "distributions" or else you can build from source. Doesn't that qualify as "being available"? If your distribution doesn't supply you with OpenMotif 2.2 you should probably file this as a bug report or a feature request.
Cheers, Edi.
