So the questions are: > > 1) Would I need Linux Motif dynamic libraries or could I use > FreeBSD ones? No, a Linux application cannot make use of the FreeBSD libraries, so you must have the Linux version of the Motif libraries. > 2) Would Lesstif libraries be sufficient, and if so, same question > Linux or FreeBSD? No, Lesstif is currently still in its development stage and has yet not reached the stability to be a sufficiant replacement for the original Motif libraries. Furthermore, my first answers applies here as well. -- Sascha Blank - mailto:blank@fox.uni-trier.de Student and System Administrator at the University of Trier, Germany Finger my account to receive my Public PGP key I don't speak for my employers, they don't pay me enough for that.
