Re: MEDM/Motif problem

Try backing down to a lower version of OpenMotif.
I'm using the fink openmotif3 (2.2.4-4) package on OS X 10.6.4 and all seems to be well.

Specifically, when I launch MEDM and create a new display, MEDM crashes when I attempt to Save, Save All or Save As... using either the menu or Ctrl + S on the key board. I am given the error message:
