Prerequisities for installation on Fedora systems

Instructions apply to

• Fedora 15
• Fedora 14
• Fedora 13
• Fedora 12
• Fedora 11

Crossed out versions have reached  end of life, but these instructions are still valid.

Please be sure that you have the following packages installed:

• gcc
• tcsh
• nedit
• imake
• xterm
• libXp-devel
• libXpm-devel
• libXft-devel
• libXmu-devel
• libjpeg-devel (Fedora <=13)
• libjpeg-turbo-devel (Fedora 14)
• libpng-devel
• xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi

Using yum you can install all necessary packages by running:

yum install gcc tcsh nedit imake xterm libXp-devel libXpm-devel libXft-devel libXmu-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-devel xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi

Fedora offers no packages for OpenMotif development ( official announcement). Suitable RPMs for Fedora 11 and 12 can be found at the  Stanford university. For Fedora 13, 14 and 15 please use packages provided by  Scientific Linux 6 (alternatively use RHEL 6 sources). Depending on your architecture please download three packages ( list of mirrors, go to scientific/6x/i386/os/Packages/ or scientific/6x/x86_64/os/Packages/):

• openmotif
• openmotif-devel
• openmotif22

If you use Fedora 15 you have to install an additional package providing a dependency executable /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB (thanks to L. S. Lowe from Birmingham Particle Physics Group):

yum localinstall http://www.ep.ph.bham.ac.uk/general/support/fedora-xkeysymdb.rpm

Now install openmotif RPMs using

yum --nogpgcheck localinstall openmotif*.rpm

Proceed with download and installation of SH/SHM.
