Prerequisities for installation on Fedora systems

Error: Failed to load processor NewsFlash
No macro or processor named 'NewsFlash' found

Please be sure that you have the following packages installed:

  • gcc
  • tcsh
  • nedit
  • imake
  • xterm
  • libXp-devel
  • libXpm-devel
  • libXft-devel
  • libXmu-devel
  • libjpeg(-turbo)-devel
  • libpng-devel

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 and 14 please visit ​pkgs.org (contaminated with commercial ads!). Depending on your architecture and Fedora version please download three packages:

  • openmotif
  • openmotif-devel
  • openmotif-clients

Install all RPMs using rpm -i filename.rpm. These packages might extract essential header files in the directory {/usr/include/openmotif/}. Only in this case you have to create the following links (as root): 

cd /usr/include/
ln -s openmotif/Xm
ln -s openmotif/Mrm

Now proceed with download and installation of SH/SHM.
