The Motif library is always statically linked

When Motif CD's older versions (purchased before May 1996) are installed together with S.u.S.E. Linux 4.2, the Motif library is statically linked to new linked programmes.

The problem's cause lays on a binutils new version. This version requires an additional link, with which a library can be dynamically linked. This link is of course not contained on the old Motif CDs , because it was not necessary before.

As remedy enter the following:

        cd /usr/X11R6/lib
        ln -s libXm.so.2.0 libXm.so
Afterwards the Motif library is again dynamically linked.
