Our system runs OpenWindows2.0 under SunOS 4.0.3. It also runs various X11R4 clients (patch level 11). Recently, after we recompiled X11R4, started getting the following message when our X11R4 clients startup. Warning: Widget class XXX version mismatch (recompilation needed): Widget 11004 vs. intrinsics 11003 (where XXX is the name of the client we started - e.g. Eyes for xeyes). We put /usr/openwin/lib in the front of LD_LIBRARY_PATH which means that our X11R4 clients load libXt from /usr/openwin instead of from the our X11 directory structure. I've tracked down the warning message to different versions of XT_REVISON in IntrinsicsP.h. Apparently, XT_REVISION is 3 (leading to 11003) in OpenWindows2.0, and XT_REVISION is 4 (leading to 11004) in our X11R4 clients. How can I get rid of the warning? I don't have the source for OpenWindows2.0. Should I statically load the libraries for our X11R4 clients so I'm sure to pickup the right library? Any hints would be appreciated.

We also get warnings about minor revision levels of the shared X libraries when certain applications start, depending on how LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set. I suppose you could write a shell script wrapper to futz with LD_LIBRARY_PATH for each problematic program, but I've never bothered. Not very satisfactory, eh?
