OpenMotif Lib Inst. Problem

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 06/09/2000 - 03:58.

I installed Open Motif files TAR in the proper directories, and now my X Windows doesn`t start?? (My screen flickers on and off). I get an error at
boot up saying
Starting X Font Server xfs error CONFIG can`t open configuration file "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config" xfs error fatal couldn`t read config file [FAILED]

File "config" in that directory doesn`t exist. Why would it be looking for it now?

Anyone have ideas? (Please take it easy, I`m new

OpenMotif Lib Inst. Problem

        
thats not the problem of motif...

this could cause many problems. depends what system you are running,

what x-server you are running, which glibc (or libc5) you are running etc.

i may help you, if you could be more specific.

OpenMotif Lib Inst. Problem

        
Found my prob. (DLed wrong package...)

Although I do have a new problem!

I can`t compile. It`s giving me errors as it can`t find the Xm libraries? The command line I`m using

	cc file.c -o file -lXm -lXt -lX11

I`m compiling on a PC with Linux RedHat 6.1 using the GNOME interface. Any idea what I should do?

There are a bunch of threads on the correct link line in this and maybe the developer forum. Scan some of the message topics and if you can`t find a relevant one, make sure you publish the errors you get from the linker.

yes add -L/usr/X11R6/lib before -lXm and maybe add -lXext -lXpm -lXp aswell
