Allegro CL 8.x CLIM requires Motif 2.1, a free version of which is available from www.openmotif.org. Although the default installation of RedHat Linux 7.2 includes installation of lesstif (a variant of Motif that does not work with CLIM), there is an installation mode where you can alter the default package installation list and therefore prevent the installation of lesstif. If you do this, you can simply install openmotif Motif 2.1 after obtaining it from www.openmotif.org. However, once lesstif is installed, you should remove it before installing openmotif Motif 2.1. To uninstall lesstif, enter % rpm –erase lesstif The rpm program will notify you if removing the lesstif package would break anything (and it will not continue with removing lesstif). rpm will indicate which packages depend on lesstif. Please contact Franz Inc. (sending mail to support@franz.com) for assistance if there are problems removing lesstif. Once lesstif is removed, openmotif Motif 2.1 can be installed followin
