gEDA-user: compiling pcb lesstif, (was: Crash with lesstif)

[John Griessen]

No matter what package your lesstif or motif is in, it may be affected by 
changes in Xwindows from xfree86 to xorg.  Problem may be where programs expect 
libraries to be...  See below and adapt it to your case with Suse.

This link  s necessary on my system with its /etc/ld.so.conf list
as at the end of this email...   make library and link changes and run ldconfig 
before trying pcb.   Document this on your system so you can back out of it with 
a rescue disk if need be -- not known working method, just a SWAG -- could kill 
Xwindows.

=======================

To get lesstif GUI of pcb to compile, that other link wasn't needed.

I did this link:

ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/X11/SM /usr/include/X11/SM

affected packages are

lesstif2            0.94.4-2
lesstif2-dev                0.94.4-2

in /etc/ld.so.conf:

/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/X11R6/include/X11
/usr/include
/usr/include/Mrm
/usr/include/uil
/usr/include/Xm
