Notes:

The i386 distributions of DISLIN require the OpenMotif library libXm.so.3 while the i586 distributions of DISLIN require libXm.so.4. If your Linux distribution does not contain OpenMotif, RPM packages of OpenMotif can be downloaded from the site www.openmotif.org. DISLIN is compiled with OpenMotif 2.2.3 (i386) and OpenMotif 2.3 (i586).
OpenMotif 2.2.3 and 2.3 are binary compatible so that a link libXm.so.4 for libXm.so.3 should work for DISLIN.
SuSE 10.2, Fedora 5 and RHEL 5 install already libXm.so.4 which is used by the i586 distributions of DISLIN.
For Ubuntu or Debian Linux the library libXm.so.3 is included in the package libmotif3. Otherwise, RPM packages of OpenMotif can be installed with the rpm --nodeps option.
Slackware 11.0 installs by default libXm.so.2, but OpenMotif 2.2.3 can be installed with the --nodeps option.
