Hello,
Recently when starting nedit or xmgrace (N.B. both use motif/lesstiff) I
now get
a flurry of messages of the form:
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfActivate
Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfActivate:
ManagerParentActivate()'
Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfBeginLine
...
What generates these messages? What are the relevant files? Nedit is
broken as a result
and cannot be used.
I have been updating the cygwin installation on a regular basis, but
these messages has just
recently appeared
I reinstalled the Cygwin lesstif, xmgrace, and nedit packages to no avail.
Next I rebuilt nedit from source code. It runs without generating these
messages,
but now I get a warning that I have built the program using an unstable
motif version
i.e. the current cygwin lesstif package...
Solutions?
