Most suggest to make sure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is set
correctly. Some said to make it point to the X11R5 libraries first then
to the open windows libraries. Some suggest exactly the opposite: open
windows libs first then the X11R5 libs. I tried running audiotool and
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/openwin/lib:/usr/lib and
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib
and still get the following error (about 16 times):
XView warning: Unable to allocate control colors for colormap segment
(Color package)
then the audiotool does come up but still does not draw boxes and curves
correctly. Also, when you select a button and get the drag-down menus,
all the options do not get displayed on the screen. So, in other words, I
still not have this problem worked out. Does anyone have any other
suggestions?
As far as Motif Window Manager goes, most users called me crazy (cause OSF
would never "give" anything away) however I did get a good suggestion of
getting gwm which has a motif emulation package in it (in fact I am ftp-ing
it now). An available sources is export.lcs.mit.edu.
Another person suggested using ncdwm (which comes with NCD X tubes). This
has motif look and feel and can handle openlook pushpins, etc.
