I keep forgetting where, but several companies do sell motif for freeBSD check http://www.freebsd.org/ I seem to remember that this exact question is covered there somewhere.. > > Incidentally, we are testing FreeBSD on following configuration. > We could install v2.0.5R on our system successfully and we > have been using it with no problem. As you already have FreeBSD loaded, then you should look in /usr/share/FAQ/Text/FreeBSD.FAQ: ------------------------------------------- 3.1: Where can I get Motif for FreeBSD? You can purchase Motif 1.2.3 for FreeBSD (SWiM) from the ACC Bookstore, P.O. Box 3364, Westport CT. 06880. 1-800-546-7274 or FAX: 1-203-454-2582 This software works flawlessly for for FreeBSD 1.1.5 but has shown one problem with 2.0 in that the "uil" program core dumps. This is apparently because of the way uil is installed, and it's quite possible that ACC will have a fixed version by the time you read this. No other compatibility problems with the programs or libraries have been found, and ACC can hardly be blamed for failing to work perfectly with a brand-new release they haven't even seen yet! :) ------------------------------------------ There may also be others.. > > System Configuration > ------------------------------------------------- > MOTHER BOAD : P/I-P55TP4XE (with 256KB cashe) > CPU : Pentium 133MHz (P54C-133) > MEMORY : 32MB > VIDEO BOAD : MACH64PCI(E)/2MB (ATI Technologies inc) > FDD : A3.5" (3mode) > HDD : IDE1.2GB > NETWORK I/F : 3C509-TP (3Com) > SCSI I/F : PCI-SC200 (NCR) > ------------------------------------------------- it does look like a good configuration > > I think you are very busy, but your prompt reply will be highly appreciated. > > ====================================================== > Naoaki Tanizaki > Engineer > Research & Development Center > Coporate Technology Operations Group > SUMITOMO HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD. > 63-30 YUUHIGAOKA, HIRATSUKA KANAGAWA-KEN 245, JAPAN > TEL 0463-21-8421 FAX 0463-21-8455 > E-mail tanizaki_nao@hrt.shi.co.jp > ====================================================== > >
