Dear List subscribers and Development Team. I just compiled the source package for Alliance 4.0.6 on my Linux PC, old Pentium 60, using SuSE 6.2 and Lesstif 0.88.8 Wen I launch Graal or Dreal and then go to the File dialog box to load a layout, the program exits a few seconds after the first click on the dialog box. I tried GDB, but the build stripped the sources, so I was only able to see that the program was exiting with code 1. Strace was of no help, but I could send you an output file if necessary. I tried Lesstif 0.89-something from a Slackware disk I had around, no change. The same distribution, compiled with GCC 8.0 on a Sparc Ultra 5 (with Openwin and Motif) does not crash and loads the file correctly. I grep-ed the souces looking for "exit" and found several places in which this statement occurs, so I tried to change the exit value one place at a time to see what "exit" was exiting... nope: the value is always 1, so I think this is really a Lesstif issue. Any idea? A friend which downloaded the RPM version and has a Red Hat distribution told me he got some crashes in the file load dialog box, but not so deterministically as me. I will keep trying to find the reason for the exit, please let me know if you have any suggestions. If I find a solution, I will send it to the list, of course.
