Hi Chad,

Please pardon my moving your post. This is a worthy topic that is
better listed as a separate thread (aside from mentioning the same
library, it has nothing to do with issues in Fedora).

At any rate, there are a few points to note. What you have done may
work out to some degree, but it not the path we will likely follow.

1. Fink essentially "owns" the /sw directory. It installs everything
there, while nothing else (such as darwinports) touches it.

2. The darwinports version of the motif library has proven to be more
problematic than the fink version. Therefore, we try to avoid
darwinports.

3. Since we do not use darwinports, there are no current Makefiles for
it (there are 2 for 10.3). So it is unlikely that the 10.4 or 10.5
Makefiles would work, without some updates.

It probably would not be too difficult, but we have no such system to
use as a guide.

4. It is likely that you could not even use the current binaries, while
pointing them to your motif library. There may even be other missing
libraries as a separate issue.

You could try to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory containing your
libXm.4 library, and then start afni. It will probably not work.

---

So you can try things out with the 10.4 binaries (probably setting the
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable), or you can try compiling. We
may be able to provide some help with either, but since we don't have
our own system, it may be slow.

Assuming libXm.4.dylib is under /usr/local/lib (or would it be under
/opt/local/lib?), try:

setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib
afni

That also assumes you are using tcsh, not bash.
