Re: Dislin breaks 37 libraries on Fedora 8

I was in a similar situation recently, but had libXm.so.4 installed
instead of libXm.so.3. If you are in the same boat, you can install
the
i586 Linux distribution of Dislin which is compiled for libXm.so.4.
That's after you back out the variuos changes that broke the 37 libs.
