Re: medm build

[Jeong Han Lee <jhlee@ibs.re.kr>]

For my system (Debian 6, 64bit), I installed the following packages

libxt-dev libmotif-dev x11proto-print-dev libxmu-headers libxp-dev 
libxmu-dev libxmu6
by using the aptitude command

aptitude install libxt-dev libmotif-dev x11proto-print-dev 
libxmu-headers libxp-dev libxmu-dev libxmu6
for my MEDM installation. I hope it will help if you are using Debian 
based distributions.
Thanks,
Jeong Han
