Yesterday I installed the Dislin-9.2-1 Linux rpm along with openmotif 2.2.3.10.fc4.2 and xorg-X11-libs 6.8.1-12.fc3.1, which it requires. When I tried to link it, I got a message that libXm.so.3 was missing. This should have been installed with openmotif, but apparently wasn't. <br>
<br>In trying to resolve this issue, I brought up the Synaptic package manager, and it said that 37 packages had been broken. To fix the broken packages, it wanted to remove the 3 packages I just installed. The broken packages are:<br>
<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">libdmx, libfontenc, libICE, libSM, libX11, llibXau, libXaw, libXcomposite, libXcursor, libXdamage, libXdmcp, libXevie, libXext, libXfixes, libXfont, libXfontcache, libXft, libxi, libxi, libXinerama, libXinerama, libxkbfile, libXmu, libXpm, libXandr, libXrender, libXres, libXScmSaver, libXt, libXTrap, libxtst, libXv, libXvMC, libXxf86dga, libXxf86misc, libXxf86vm, mesa-libGL, and mesa-libGLU<br>
<br clear="all"></div>This is a big show-stopper for me. I am in the process of porting a major application system from SUSE 9.0 and G77 to Fedora 8 and Gfortran. I am not interested in all the new features that these broken libraries support (whatever they are). I just want to be able to demo this application to my client in 3 weeks.<br>
<br>Please advise a course of action.<br><br>-- <br>Joseph 'Bear' Thames<br>Meta Science Foundation<br>(505) 977-9024 - Cell Phone<br><a href="mailto:Joseph_Thames@metacalculus.net">Joseph_Thames@metacalculus.net</a><br>
