Yesterday I installed the Dislin-9.2-1 Linux rpm along with openmotif
2.2.3.10.fc4.2 and xorg-X11-libs 6.8.1-12.fc3.1, which it requires.
When I tried to link it, I got a message that libXm.so.3 was missing.
This should have been installed with openmotif, but apparently wasn't.
In trying to resolve this issue, I brought up the Synaptic package
manager, and it said that 37 packages had been broken. To fix the broken
packages, it wanted to remove the 3 packages I just installed. The
broken packages are:
libdmx, libfontenc, libICE, libSM, libX11, llibXau, libXaw,
libXcomposite, libXcursor, libXdamage, libXdmcp, libXevie, libXext,
libXfixes, libXfont, libXfontcache, libXft, libxi, libxi, libXinerama,
libXinerama, libxkbfile, libXmu, libXpm, libXandr, libXrender, libXres,
libXScmSaver, libXt, libXTrap, libxtst, libXv, libXvMC, libXxf86dga,
libXxf86misc, libXxf86vm, mesa-libGL, and mesa-libGLU
This is a big show-stopper for me. I am in the process of porting a
major application system from SUSE 9.0 and G77 to Fedora 8 and Gfortran.
I am not interested in all the new features that these broken libraries
support (whatever they are). I just want to be able to demo this
application to my client in 3 weeks.
Please advise a course of action.
It seems you've picked i386 rpm, rather than the i586 one:
