The version you should find in $OPENWINHOME/lib and the version you should find in /usr/lib/X11 (i.e. MIT X11R4) disagree on a very minor version number. You're right -- these messages don't seem to have any earthly effect on the code. There are two ways to fix this problem: 1) Carefully set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that when you use apps built using X11R4, you do not have $OPENWIHOME/lib in that path (which is a bit of a pain if you use both Motif/Athena apps and XView apps, which I do (since Sun's XGL only seems to be happy under olwm, but I prefer Motif for my widgets)) 2) Get your sysadmin to fix it. We fixed it by making the copies of Xt in $OPENWINHOME/lib be links to the MIT X11R4 versions. This doesn't seem to cause any problems, since XView doesn't use Xt.
