This is rather surprising, since I've never heard of -lXp, and previous versions of Motif didn't have any such thing. It's hard to believe the Motif people would have introduced a change in the way the libs should be used by the application. My guess is that Motif was not properly built on this platform. Either libXp should be statically linked into libXm, or, if libXp is dynamically linked into libXm, libXm should be built in such a way that internal references to libXp are automatically resolved. Check for unresolved symbol references when building libXm. I bet that libXp was named for p = `private'. Martin
