MEDM/Motif problem

[Andrew Wagner <apwagner@u.washington.edu>]

Hi everyone, 

I'm trying to build a simple GUI using MEDM but I'm running into the problem that I can't save any changes to .adl files, either that I create or those created by others. Specifically, when I launch MEDM and create a new display, MEDM crashes when I attempt to Save, Save All or Save As... using either the menu or Ctrl + S on the key board. I am given the error message: 


dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _XftDrawCreate
  Referenced from: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.4.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace

dyld: Symbol not found: _XftDrawCreate

[1]+  Trace/BPT trap          medm


I have successfully compiled openmotif-2.3.0 and MEDM3_1_4 from source on OSX 10.6.4 . Based on the error message I would guess that XftDrawCreate is a deprecated function call that doesn't exist in openmotif-2.3.0 . Are there any MEDM/motif experts that can suggest a fix? Thanks very much.
