I am having trouble running the motif version of IDL under OPENLOOK
with SUNOS 4.1.2. (IDL. Version 3.1.1 (sunos sparc).) When I use
(for example) the xinteranimate widget I get complaints about
unknown keysym names. In particular:

------------------------------------------------------------ ------------
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfLeft Warning:
... found while parsing '<Key>osfLeft: DrawingAreaInput()
ManagerGadgetTraverseLeft()' Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown
keysym name: osfRight Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfRight:
DrawingAreaInput() ManagerGadgetTraverseRight()'
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------

Here is the advice I get from RSI. Can someone explain this
to me? The [System Wide] option is not a viable solution for me
(seems pretty half-baked) and I already have the [Per User] part in my .cshrc.

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------
from sun_motif.doc in IDL distribution:

Keysym problems
---------------
When running the motif version of IDL on a remote Sun server
(i.e. not directly logged onto the system) you might see a screenful
of messages referring to unknown osf keysyms. These messages are
harmless, but anoying. We have found that either of the following two
solutions clears this problem up.

[Per User] Have each user put the following line in their .cshrc
file:

% setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin

[System Wide] Have your system administrator issue the following
command on the system with the OpenWindows server:

% ln -s /usr/openwin/lib /usr/lib/X11
