It just means you will need Open Motif installed. Most of the Linux distributions have these libraries available through apt, yum, or whatever. There is a FreeBSD port as well. This should just be noted in the install documentation for the convenience of new users. The practice of statically linking in a Motif library should have died with SunOS 4. <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 6:57 PM, Raymond Toy <<a href="mailto:toy.raymond@gmail.com">toy.raymond@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I upgraded from openSuSE 10.3 to openSuSE 11.2 a few days ago, and now I can no longer build motifd. For whatever reason, I now need to specify -ljpeg, -lpng, -lXmu, and -lXft to get these dependent libraries linked in. This wasn't required before for 10.3, but it is now. But from what I can tell, these dependencies were already in the 2010-01 binaries I built using openSuSE 10.3. Now I have to be explicit about this. For the maintainers of the various Linux distributions of cmucl, can I just add these libraries explicitly? Will that cause a problem? Ray </blockquote></div>
