Installing Linux Motif Libraries

1. Check if the libraries are already present by using this command.

   % ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm*

   If the /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2 points to a libXm.so.2.x version you are done. Note that a symbolic link to /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3 does not work.

   If the libraries are not present then continue following these steps.

2. Download the corresponding openmotif libraries from http://www.ist.co.uk/DOWNLOADS/motif_download.html or from the SUSE 9.1 distribution (there is an additional rpm file called openmotif21-* available).

3. Install the missing libraries as root. For Suse 9.1, you install the openmotif21-* package like any other package. For packages downloaded from For packages downloaded from http://www.ist.co.uk, install the libraries as in the following example.

   # rpm -i --prefix /tmp/test --force \ openmotif-2.1.31-2_IST-JDS2003.i386.rpm # cd /tmp/test/OpenMotif-2.1.31/lib # cp libXm.so.2.1 /usr/X11R6/lib # cd /usr/X11R6/lib # ln -s libXm.so.2.1 libXm.so.2

4. Test qmon.

   % ldd `which qmon`
