<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=918402705-21022005>We have installed
the nedit package from universe (version 1:5.4-1 - as seen from
Synaptic)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=918402705-21022005>However, when
running, we get the following details:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

the core with gdb shows up a call to XtVaCreateWidget in

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=918402705-21022005>We've seen another
posting saying to test DDD, if a problem in nedit is encountered. We tried this,
and noted that DDD also segmentation faults on our system - the feedback
from this other posting was that nedit and DDD have a common usage of
lesstif (we have installed both lesstif1, lesstif2, and we have also tried to
compile nedit from scratch with both lesstif1-dev and lesstif2-dev installed,
but all to no avail).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=918402705-21022005>The original posting
recommended recompiling lesstif with gcc3.4 to overcome potential problems, but
we've noticed that the ubuntu desktop is dependant upon lesstif (so are not too
keen to un-install, and then re-install from source, if we can avoid
it).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=918402705-21022005>Has anyone else come
across a problem like this, with either nedit, ddd, or lesstif needing to be
compiled using gcc-3.4?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=918402705-21022005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=918402705-21022005>We are unsure if the
problem is within nedit, lesstif, or somewhere else - so if anyone has a
working version of nedit on an amd64 based ubuntu installation, please could you
email us?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=918402705-21022005>Are we likely to
experience problems if we un-install lesstif2 from the system, and install
lesstif2 from source?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

advance for any advice / help or assistance anyone can offer regarding
this.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
