Q44. When trying to compile AFNI, I get messages like "Xm/Xmall.h not found"!
Your problem is that the Makefile isn't finding the Motif library files on your system. One possible cause is that the compiler isn't searching for the files in the right place. The search path is controlled by the -I and -L switches to the compiler. You may need to modify these in your Makefile, assuming you can find the place where Motif is installed.
If you are using Linux, the more likely cause is that you don't have Motif installed. Motif is the software that is used to build the AFNI graphics interface (layered on top of X11 and Xt). Motif is not free software (unlike X11 and Xt), and so doesn't come automatically with Linux. You have to buy it, at about US$100-150 per machine. RedHat sells it, as do a number of other places. AFNI also works fairly well with the free LessTif libraries (but be sure to get the latest version).
[15 May 2000] Motif source and binaries are now available free from their owner, the Open Group. Go here for more information, or try here.
