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. Requires (("Lesstif" "2.1") ("Motif" "2.2")). 20957518 202085BC -> 202084E2 = #:DEB 20957534 20055887 -> 20055812 = (#:SYM 3191) 2095755C 2020891F -> 202087CA = #:CON 20957588 200551BF -> 20055022 = #:CER 2095767C 204860BA -> 20485FF2 = (#:SYM 240) 209576A4 20214A7D -> 20214A52 = (#:SYM 158) 209576B0 20485D80 -> 20485D22 = (#:SYM 1162) 209576B8 205A6350 -> 205A6332 = #<function 205A6332> 209576C8 204A3C37 -> 204A3B22 = #<function 204A3B22> 209577A0 201874EB -> 201874C2 = (#:SYM 3493) 209577B0 201875DA -> 20187572 = (#:SYM 5458)

The latest stable OpenMotif release is 2.2.2 - see <http://www.motifzone.net/> 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.
