Solaris 2.4, Motif & HP Jetadmin

We just installed the HP Jetadmin software on our Solaris 2.4 servers. The
Jetadmin explicitly says you need Motif to run several of the tools included
with the jetadmin software. My understanding is that the motif libraries are
included in the standard Solaris 2.4 distribution, but I still can't run the
tools.

Anybody out there managed to make the Device or Job monitor run ? Or do you
really need the Motif Window Manager to be installed ?

All help is welcome !

Motif libraries are located under /usr/dt/lib. So you should add it to
your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. As far as I remember, we got problems with the Xm
library revision but a symbolic link solved the problem.

You must add to LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/usr/dt/lib", and possibly copy
<HPNPHOME>/examples/DeviceMonitor in /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults or
in your home dir.
BTW, I've just downloaded the upgrades from ftp-boi.external.hp.com:
they are dated April 13, so seem quite new... but, most important, they
work well.

Luca Polo.
