X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Is there any way to make use of ports that require Motif without actually going out and buying the package from DEC? Will Motif even run on FreeBSD? Nedit and GIMP both require Motif, and those would be handy ports to have. Is there a workaround for this? I recall having installed Nedit on a non-Motif'd FreeBSD box in the past and it ran without any problems. The port didn't require Motif back then. I've tried commenting out the line that says Motif is required, but it still pukes. I've tried installing lesstif to see if that could work as a replacement but it doesn't. Any ideas?
