openmotif and geomview

Submitted by cfg on Thu, 02/12/2009 - 22:30.

Hi,
I have a macbook with leopard os and I try to install geomview using openmotif but I get error message:
Can't find Motif header file Xm/Xm.h. Geomview requires Motif
(or Lesstif). See the file INSTALL.Geomview for details.

What should I do to use openmotif instead of motif
I typed the command ./confugure

Thank you
cfg

If you have the pre-installed openmotif you should to specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH with path to openmotif libraries.

How I do that?

I am sorry I am not very good with changing path and how to find those files

Anyway thank you very much for your help,

You should type in your shell:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib


And then from this shell you should start Geomview.

Re: openmotif and geomview

        
If the error is "Cant find header file Xm/Xm.h", the problem has nothing to do with whether LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set properly;it's a compile-time error, not an execution-time error.


Check and ensure that the header files are there.

Does /usr/include/Xm exist?

Does it contain Xm.h?


If not, you don''t have Motif installed correctly.

"You will need to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/OpenMotif/lib to

use the motif dynamic libraries."

Should I type in the file sw/bin/init.sh

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/OpenMotif/lib


Thank you to all for your help.  I am really a dummy.
