Hi,

Just in case anyone is having problems compiling MEDM on Ubuntu1204,

here are some tips:

MEDM compile expects some library files in /usr/lib
Ubuntu1204 puts these files in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
so one needs the following symbolic links in /usr/lib, MEDM then compiles:
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXm.a /usr/lib/libXm.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXt.a /usr/lib/libXt.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXp.a /usr/lib/libXp.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXmu.a /usr/lib/libXmu.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.a /usr/lib/libX11.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXext.a /usr/lib/libXext.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXm.so /usr/lib/libXm.so

Remember to install the following package for the larger fonts used by

MEDM to work on Ubuntu1204:

  apt-get install xfonts-100dpi

For StripTool you also need:
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXpm.a /usr/lib/libXpm.a
