Max, This information is also in the lesstif FAQ at /sw/LessTif/FAQ and /sw/LessTif/doc/FAQ.html. I remember mentioning this two days ago in the "XFree86 version and grace" thread on fink-users. The FAQ even mentions it in the same way we are seeing it, with "DropSiteManager".
The problem seems to be runtime linking, because you can take the same binary (xmgrace in this case, but it is the same for nedit) and run it in the presence of libXt from XFree86-4.1.0: It works; run it with libXt from XFree86-4.2.0: Error. It doesn't matter with which version you link it at compile time. OTOH, Apple's linker does not respect the command line link order either, as can be seen from the following output from the nedit build: cc -O2 -no-cpp-precomp -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/sw/include nc.o ../util/libNUtil.a -L/sw/lib -lXm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXpm -lXext -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -o nc /usr/bin/ld: warning suggest use of -bind_at_load, as lazy binding may result in errors or different symbols being used symbol _vendorShellClassRec used from dynamic library /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.dylib(Vendor.o) not from earlier dynamic library /sw/LessTif/Motif2.0/lib/libXm.2.dylib(Vendor.lo) symbol _vendorShellWidgetClass used from dynamic library /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.dylib(Vendor.o) not from earlier dynamic library /sw/LessTif/Motif2.0/lib/libXm.2.dylib(Vendor.lo) -- Martin Jeff Whitaker wrote: > > Max: I saw this too.
