Hi all,
I'm trying to get LWL Personal 4.2 to work on my RedHat 7.3 system. RH
7.3 comes with openmotif-2.2, which (strangely) includes libXm.so.3.
By default, when LW starts, it looks for libXm.so.1. So I went into
<lib>/config/use-use-motif-library and inserted the following:
(:detect-version (("/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3" 3))
:prefer-version 3
When trying now, the error message is:
Error during GUI startup:
Could not register handle for external module X-UTILITIES::CAPIX11:
/tmp/fileIItRW1.so: file too short.
Any suggestions on what I should try here? Will I have to use Lesstif
or, should I downgrade to openmotif-2.1?
Thanks in advance.

lesstif is less than optimal, I think the best solution is to downgrade
to OpenMotif 2.1.

Fortunately, there were 2.1 compatibility librararies that could be
installed in addition to the 2.2 ones. Now it's working.
Thanks.

That's very interesting, can you give me a pointer? (I have advised
customers of my application to downgrade, this sounds like a much
better solution)

I seem to be having som news problems, I apologize if this message
appears twice.
Anyway, in the redhat section of the redhat 7.3 section on any of the
redhat mirrors, there should be a file called
openmotif21-2.1.30-1.i386.rpm.
From the description of this rpm:
"This package contains the compatibility libraries for running Open
Motif 2.1 applications"
