You installed a Fedora 3 X library on a Fedora 8 box ? Yes that would make a mess. Put the Fedora 8 X libraries it lists as broken back and your machine should be well again. I'm suprised it was possible as yum should have spotted any clashing files. Fedora doesn't, as you've noticed, include openmotif just lesstif. You can either build OpenMotif yourself against a modern X library set or build the app against lesstif. We don't include OpenMotif because it is non-free software and in addition has some really peculiar licencing interactions (eg you can't use it with the binary Nvidia drivers as it may only be used with an "Open Source Operating System") Alan
