(Technically your problem is not yet with arb, but we'll ignore that for now) What command have you used to try to install an older lesstif? Did you try fink install lesstif-1:0.93.18-1 ? If that doesn't work, then check your /sw/etc/fink.conf file to make sure that you have both stable and unstable available. -- Alexander K.
