Update: by adding absolute paths to the missing libraries, I can get it to compile,but now I get
Error: attempt to add non-widget child "DropSiteManager" to parent "xmgrace" which supports only widgets I have scanned the mailing list archive , and notice this problem mentioned a few times with other software, eg DDD, but I cannot find any resolution to this problem mentioned. Any pointers/ redirections to an example I haven't found yet?

Thanks again Harold -- This is getting to be a steadily decreasing priority for me so don't rush to solve my problems at the expense of those interviews. I can easily transfer the data to a Linux box and use my patched Grace from there to get the tick marks -- at this point the only reason to pursue this is to learn how, maybe I can even locate the bug ( with a little help) ... I imagine that several other people also know the answers to these questions as they are getting more general. I have had no problem doing the same things on a Linux box, so it seems that it is the differences between Linux (Red Hat 9, Red Hat 8, and Slackware 8.1) and Cygwin that are messing me up. >You need at least the following packages to build grace and lesstif: >fontconfig >libfontconfig1 >libfontconfig-devel >XFree86-prog >Harold I have those, but I cannot figure out how to get Configure to pick them up. That is, I can compile the little test routine (as used by configure to test the M*tif installation) from the command line by including all the -l flags for these libraries directly but grace<version>/configure always fails because it is not including those flags. ( I figured this out since last time I posted here...the libraries were all there,somewhere, just not referenced by -l flags ) -lXft -lfontconfig -lXrender in addition to those mentioned by default I tried adding them in the environment variable LDFLAGS but that didn't work either -- possibly they are in the wrong order. The LDFLAGS seems to get put before the -I flags and before the other libraries. Is there some cygwin equvalent of ldconfig or ld.so.conf that I am missing out here? Or does the grace-<version>/configure script need some changes to use a compiled LessTif instead of packaged binaries? (this is what I will probably try next) I have had some confusion in the past about this, on Cygwin certain libraries getting automatically referenced .. when does a library not explicitly referenced by a -l flag get automatically referenced? --Robert -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harold L Hunt II Sent: 16 January 2004 20:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?
