libXm.so.2 => not found

there is a slink in /usr/local/lib/ to the real file which is located in
/usr/local/LessTif/Motif/lib
as shown below

bash# ls -l libXm.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           34 May 25 21:45 libXm.so.2 ->
../LessTif/Motif2.0/lib/libXm.so.2

/usr/local/lib is in my /etc/ld.so.conf file. I also tried running
ldconfig but that did not help.
I also added /usr/local/LessTif/Motiif2.0/lib to the /etc/ld.so.conf
file then running ldconfig
but with the same results.

Any Ideas what I am doing wrong. BTW the make install uses libtool to
install the shared library

Thanks

Dave

David,

Have you added the new libraries dirs in the /etc/ld.so.conf?
That's necessary. For example, mine looks like:

   /usr/X11R6/lib
   /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib
   /usr/lib/qt-1.45/lib
   /usr/local/qt/lib
   /usr/local/Mesa/lib
   /usr/local/lesstif/lib

After making changes, you have to run: /sbin/ldconfig  as root.

However, have you heard that OpenMotif is available:

     www.opengroup.org/openmotif

I'm running it on my RH 6.2 Linux PC. Runs like a charm!
No need for lesstif anymore.

Rob.
