Re: openmotif 3
If it does not work, it could if you just send files in /usr/local/... and write a script to start your application. Something like: [pseudocode] LD_LIBRARY=/usr/local/dumb/openStrangeThing:$LD_LIBRARY /usr/bin/mySoftware [/pseudocode] It might work... but it also might not, depending on compilation options. Do not you are able to give more informations about your program? Like it's name, if someone knows it or if it is publicly available...

Re: openmotif 3
You will have 3 solutions I guess: _ find an old package with the libmotif3 _ find a more recent version of your software _ try to compile your software against the more recent version of motif, with the underlying probable work (but it can also be very straightforward, depending of if libmotif4 broke many things or not) Le 01.10.2012 21:25, Dan a écrit : Hi, I would like to run a program that requires libXm.so.3 but libmotif3 has been replaced by libmotif4 and I can not find anywhere libXm.so.3.

Maybe I can download it from the website of openmotif. I have the most recent version of the software and I can not compile it.

Re: openmotif 3
I have just made some researches, and... well... I have no clue why debian named it libmotif4 as version number is 2.3.3... Now I am thinking about this, finding an old package might give some problems too, because it will be linked with older versions of other libs, notably libc6, which is an essential part of a linux system. The best is probably to try to compile libmotif3 (whatever real version it is) from sources and hope it'll work. If it does not, you will have to recompile your software. Maybe you can do things in another way, but I can not see how.
