Building required motif; I had lesstif installed but couldn't locate the devel packages. So I grabbed and rebuilt the lesstif source rpms. Built grok but had to specify the Lesstif includes and Xext and Xp libraries in the Makefile. On running grok I received a bunch of missing font errors, even though they were available through xfontsel.
The developer offered some help and suggested a possible entry in my .Xdefaults. This didn't fix the error though. He believes it to be a config error on my part. This is possible, but other applications run without error. I'm looking at this next. I downloaded the i386 rpm but this one required OpenMotif and not lesstif. I grabbed, built and installed the latest OpenMotif. Ran grok... Drats, same missing font errors... It looks like it could be a useful program but I'm not getting anywhere with it yet...
