Re: libmotif3

["Gudjon I. Gudjonsson" <gudjon@mc2.chalmers.se>]

You need to compile the package yourself
apt-src install libmotif3
cd libmotif...
fakeroot debian/rules binary
cd ..
su
dpkg -i *motif*.deb

/G

I have never understood why there are packages that are allowed in i386 
version of Debian but not in the amd64. But if I remember correctly there was 
a long and tiring discussion about it on the mailing list once:)
Anyway libmotif3 would be a welcome addition to the amd64 repository for me 
since most of the commercial programs I use make use of it and  lesstif2 
still crashes on my double processor machine.
