Hi Lewis,

Last time (3 years ago) during the fresh installation, I did not

remember tuning for flat_namespace variant.

But I will keep this in mind in case of I need to make a fresh install.
Thanks.

Best

Hi Lewis,

After checking, my medm is linked only to MacPorts libraries.

Hi, Xiaoqiang.

OK, thanks for confirming.

As you said, the key issue is the flat_namespace flag. Luckily
Macports handles that automatically if the xorg-libXt is installed as
a dependency to openmotif.

I'm not a MacPorts expert, but my understanding is that it does *not*
handle that automatically.  If you update your local ports tree and
rebuild, I think it will fail on x11/openmotif because x11/xorg-libXt
was not built as a flat-namespace shared library.  In order to build
x11/xorg-libXt as a flat-namespace shared library, you will need to
enable the flat_namespace variant for x11/xorg-libXt.  That doesn't
happen automatically.

Regards,

Lewis
