Thorsten Haude:

I agree, it looks like a library error on first sight. I'm not sure how this linking works in Debian though: Shouldn't it be possible to have both installed?

The thing is that they seem to install libraries with the same name. openmotif places them in /usr/X11R6/lib, lesstif in /usr/lib. The problem is that openmotif's libraries "win", so nedit won't start.


Running nedit as

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib nedit

works. I'll add an alias for that as a workaround for the time being.

Are you sure Opera doesn't work with Lesstif? It might demand OM and still work with Lesstif.

No, I'm not sure. I have to ask my colleagues about that :-)

What is the result of 'nedit -V'?

Without LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

I.e, no difference except for the warning.
