> In preparation for building EPICS extensions on my Linux machine, I am 
> trying to install Motif 2.1.  In the process, I discovered that my 
> version of XFree86 was an earlier version, and not what I needed.  Okay, 
> so I downloaded XFree86 3.3.2, with the print libraries that Motif said it
> needed. Now, when I try to install Motif 2.1, I get a message saying that
> it failed because it can't find libXp.so.6.  That library is there,
> in /usr/X11R6/lib, exactly where the Motif install is supposed to be 
> looking for it.  (It is a soft link to libXp.so.6.2)  All permissions 
> are wide open.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I am using RedHat 
> Linux 4.2.
