The problems I mentioned are specific to OSF/MOTIF 2.1 and the 2.1.21 fixes 2.1 bug. 1.2.4 should be OK. Sorry for not being clear. Well I have R12K chip SGIs in my office. THE IRIX itself had bunch of the libraries in old format. I agree you should use new ABI's but rarely I can compile a software without troubles due to SGI MipsPro mess of -o32, -n32, -n64. Thier own system carries mixtures. Suhaib > Mark > > -- > Mark Bolstad > Manager, Visualization and Scientific Computing > Lockheed-Martin Services Inc. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > (919)-541-3604
