Open Motif or OSF Motif detected.
@(#)Motif Version 2.2.2
ERROR:  Bad Open Motif Version:
        @(#)Motif Version 2.2.2

This version of Open Motif is known to be broken and is
thus unsupported by the NEdit developers.  It will probably
cause NEdit to crash frequently.  Check these pages for a more
detailed description of the problems with this version:
        http://www.motifdeveloper.com/tips/tip22.html
        http://www.motifdeveloper.com/tips/Motif22Review.pdf

NEdit is known to work with LessTif versions:
        0.92.32
        0.93.0
        0.93.12
        0.93.18
and is known to be very stable with Open Motif version 2.1.30,
which is freely available from several sources, including:
        http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif/
        http://www.metrolink.com/products/motif/open_motif2-1-30.html
        http://www.ist.co.uk/DOWNLOADS/motif_download.html

Also, unless you need a customized NEdit you should STRONGLY
consider downloading a pre-built binary from http://www.nedit.org,
since these are the most stable versions.

If you really want to build a known-bad version of NEdit you
can override this sanity check by adding -DBUILD_BROKEN_NEDIT
to the CFLAGS variable in your platform's Makefile (e.g.
makefiles/Makefile.linux)
