Maarten, what's the precise version number of ddd? You say "lesstifg", so I
presume it's 2.1.1-5 (as that is the only 2.1.1 that's libc6). DDD needed to
be changed for use with libc6. The first change was in 2.1.1-5, but there
was a second change in 2.2-1 relating to this.
Unfortunately, there are still severe problems in LessTif (X lockups and
memory leaks), so there's no LessTif-using DDD that I can guarantee to works
fine. I'm still looking for a new LessTif maintainer (I don't really have
the expertise to maintain it)...
Basically, there are three options you can consider:
- Use ddd-smotif (or ddd-dmotif if you have motif) from "contrib", which
doesn't use LessTif, and should be OK.
- Use the latest DDD from unstable (2.2.3-1). This should fix the "doesn't
do anything" problem, but still has LessTif problems.
- Downgrade to ddd_2.1.1-1 (in bo-updates).
HTH,
Ray
