Hi all,

This is my first post- I hope I'm putting it in the right place. I'm trying to compile an example c++ program. I don't know exactly which version of gcc I'm using .. it's whatever came with FC6. When I compile the output is:
I've scoured this website and google to no avail. A lot of people have a similar problem but the solutions (slightly modified for -lXm) don't seem to work. I saw on one post to install libXp-devel. I did such by using:
I've also installed compat-libstdc++-33 to combat another install error by typing:
I got the idea from another thread to try installing libXm.so.3. I typed and got in response:
As per another suggestion I have tried to install openmotif (honestly, I don't know what this is).

I'm a fairly new Linux user and have no more ideas of what to do. Any thoughts? I'm hope I included all the needed information .. if not I'll be happy to include more.

Thanks in advance!

fedora 6 past it's END OF LIFE long ago
the repos for fedora 6 were RETIRED 1.5 years ago .That means that yum NO LONGER will work on fedora 6
all updates including all dev tools and lib like libXp,libstdc++-33 MUST be built from the source
you might as well do this
because yum is useless on fedora 6
PS. fedora 10 is due in about 1 to 2 months

#1) For what it's worth, I made a mistake. I'm running FC7. This is a company computer constantly running Monte Carlo simulations and I cannot upgrade the OS at a whim.

#2) Does anyone have any useful suggestions?

Thanks!

the same thing applies for fedora 7 as 6
fedora 7 is also past it's end of life
Build all new code for fedora 7 from the source .Because yum will no longer work.

How do I install the appropriate files off of the CD? I can't even figure out which files I need...

pop the first cd( you will need all 6) in and from your desktop go to


Applications / Add and remove software ,click on that and enter your root password in the prompt .Then on the left side of the window click on Development ,then on the right side window put a check in "Development Libraries", "Development Tools","Gnome Software Development","Legacy Software Development ", X software Development" and click the " apply" button .
then put in the correct cd as it is asked for
this should get you most of the things you need
