Subject: [regex-coach] linux lesstif libs inadequate?
Message-ID: <1077126081.4341.5.camel@chaos>

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")).

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.

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.
