#285 lesstif incompatible with Accelrys' Felix 2004

[Anonymous]

The NMR Software Felix 2004, formerly from Accelrys and now owned by FelixNMR, exposes a binary compatibility bug in lesstif. The Felix 2004 product is linked against a true motif shared library (libXm.so.2). When executed using lesstif's copy of this shared library, the program segfaults with the error...

You can try linking to an older version of LessTif but otherwise note that binary compatibility is very hard to achieve.
