Re: ferret on redhat 7.3

[John C Cartwright <John.C.Cartwright@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I'm having similar troubles on RH7.3/KDE3.0.  It seems to me that 
installing openmotif21-2.1.30-1.i386 is going back to a earlier version 
since libXm.so.3 is on the system.  As a hack, I tried creating a 
symbolic link from libXm.so.3 to libXm.so.2, and although this gets me 
past the load libraries error, it leaves me at the same point that 
Viviane refers to.

Is not the answer to recompile ferret against the newer version of 
openmotif (openmotif-2.2.2-5.rpm)?

Thanks!
