Hi xperts,

I'm currently running X11 R4 on a sun platform under os 4.1.1. Most
applications we build are linking with X shared libraries. Since most
of applications are Motif based, I would like to create libXm as a
shared library as well. I was able to build libXm.so.4.0 and actually
get the motif window manager (mwm) and a simple pushbutton program up
and running. However, when I tried to run one of the demo programs
(xmeditor), I recieved the following message "Error: Unresolved
inheritance operation".  After reading the man pages and looking at
some of the components of libXt, I believe my problem points to
the contents of libXm.sa.4.0 (which is empty).

So, with this in mind, can anyone tell me how or what needs to be done
to create a valid shared library for Xm?

Thanks in advance,
