Date: 11 Jul 1996 15:50:37 -0400 Organization: Raytheon Company Lines: 19 Message-ID: <4s3lud$gcf@swlrd2.msd.ray.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: swlrd2.msd.ray.com Keywords: mosaic,lesstif I have tried (in vain) to get mosaic 2.7b4 and 2.7b2 to compile and run under FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE linking it with the version of lesstif in the incoming directory on the FreeBSD FTP server. The problems appear to be with lesstif rather than with Mosaic. Attempting to run 2.7b2 results in the window manager hanging when you use pulldown menus, and the menus don't look right either. Version 2.7b4 will abort right away if you try to display the splash screen. Turning this off results in a bunch of lesstif errors and then a screwed up window being displayed. Is this a problem with lesstif in general, or is the version on the FTP server just hosed? Has anyone had any luck with this? I can't believe I'm the only one who has tried this! -- William A.
