Hi Akhil,

The error you're getting is a result of incorrectly linking to the libXm 
(OpenMotif) libraries during your build.

A quick Google search of the XmStrings error message led to the following from 
a user of a completely different package:

So a couple of questions:

1) what is the output of the following?

  ldd /home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.1/os/linux64/bin/garp

2) did you install the 64-bit binary 5.11.1 distribution, or the 32-bit binary?

3) how did you install the LessTif package?

4) what is the result of 'locate libXm.so'?

Best,

Michael
