I have heard that something with openmotif-2.2.x was fundamentally broken |
2 |
- but a forum search, bugs.gentoo.org and a google search did not give me |
3 |
any hints as to what is so wrong with that version of openmotif. |
4 |
|
5 |
I have found that many other distros seem to be using that version, |
6 |
without problems AFAIK - so I'm left wondering.. |
7 |
|
8 |
I also know, that I had openmotif-2.2 installed on my systems earlier |
9 |
(when there was a 2.2 ebuild - and it worked just fine for me). |
10 |
|
11 |
My reason for wanting openmotif-2.2 is that I would like to make use of |
12 |
regex-coach program from http://www.weitz.de/regex-coach/ |
13 |
|
14 |
it's a really great program, which is unfortunately only free as in beer - |
15 |
not as in freedom. |
16 |
|
17 |
When I try to run it, I get this: |
18 |
Error: Motif version string ("@(#)Motif Version 2.1.30") indicates invalid |
19 |
library version. Requires (("Lesstif" "2.1") ("Motif" "2.2")). |
20 |
|
21 |
etcat -v lesstif says: |
22 |
* x11-libs/lesstif : |
23 |
[ ] 0.93.94 (0) |
24 |
|
25 |
All in all - I would very much like it if you could inform me why Gentoo |
26 |
is using an (in other distros eyes) old version of opemotif (and |
27 |
appereantly also old version of lesstif)? |
