Re: medm, edm, other on fc6

[Bob Soliday <soliday@aps.anl.gov>]

medm cannot compile with lesstif on FC6. You will need both 
openmotif-2.3.0-0.1.9.3.i386.rpm and
openmotif-devel-2.3.0-0.1.9.3.i386.rpm

I would also recommend uninstalling lesstif-devel because 
openmotif-devel uses the same filenames and can lead to confusion. Only 
the machine used to compile medm will need the openmotif-devel package.
