PROTOR Redhat : Installing OpenMotif package on Redhat

Author:	Don Davies

The PROTOR graphics code uses Motif. Most importantly the code uses UIL files extensively for the graphics layout and design. In order build PROTOR software several Motif libaries must be installed together with a suitable UIL compilor. The standard Linux distribution contains most of the libaries but the UIL compilor is based on the LessTiff package. This fails when attempting to compile the PROTOR UIL files.

A full Motif 2.1.30 package is available to download from the web site

www.ist.co.uk/DOWNLOADS/motif_download.html

or is available on the PROTOR distribution CD-ROM. The RPM distribution is contained in the file openmotif-2.1.30_IST.i386.rpm.

Install this distribution with the command.

     rpm --install --replacefiles --nodeps openmotif-2.1.30_IST.i386.rpm

With this distribution installed the PROTOR graphics modules compile and build.
