What I have found since Fedora Core 6, newer versions (and mainly based on Fedora 7) Fedora becomes extremely difficult replace lesstif with openmotif. More and more, the newer Fedora versions are becoming dependant on lesstif. Removing lesstif cause more things to not work (or not work correctly). Really? The Lesstif package in my installation is/was only needed for DX and XPDF, so doing "yum remove lesstif" was not a problem. Or do you mean that Lesstif code is embedded in Fedora Core 9 in more subtle ways? (It does seem rather odd that I was able to install those openmotif RPMs after having installed Lesstif with yum.) With Fedora Core 6, it works to uninstall lesstif and install Alas, removing my current Openmotif packages, installing the FC5 RPMs, and rebuilding EDM does not seem to have had any effect on this Menu Mux segfault. I am somewhat inclined to think that it has less to do with Openmotif and more to do with whatever process the Menu Mux uses to generate its associated PVs. A lot of places seem to have an "openmotif-debuginfo" package available for download, but I haven't the slightest idea as to how it might be used to diagnose this problem. Maybe I'll download the Fedora Core 6 VMware appliance from http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/604 and do my EDM development with that. [Wouldn't it be convenient if there was a vaguely-standardized VMware appliance for EPICS development? The main reason I was inspired to update to FC9 was that the old distro I had before had an outdated version of Perl and couldn't compile EPICS, as alluded to in another recent post.] -Kevin
