From the developer's point of view I thought that Motif routines resolved to X Window routines; which meant that the final executeable relied on just X11 routines. Comment please :-) Regards, Colin
For the user, i.e. if you write a Motif application, KDE handles it OK at runtime. As for developement support, which is what I *think* you just asked about, everything I needed was installed (by default, I *think*) on this box, SuSE 8.2, 933 MHz PIII, installed about 2 years ago. I might have had to go get some developement files (header & library packages) from a mirror, I unfortunately can't recall. I do Xt/Motif CAD developement as a hobby/sporadic business & this box handles everything AOK. Thanks for this William. I note that you said you use SuSE 8.2 Was this at the time that Motif was briefly in the Open Source domain? Your interest in CAD interests me; I think that 3D perspective drawings from engineering/architect drawings ( vanishing points etc) is good fun. Regards, Colin
