After running an example of mine, I enter "/vis/open OGLIXm" or "/vis/open
OGLSXm" the program stops with an error message...

(back to linux)

My system is Redhat Linux 7.0/Geant4.3.1/LessTif 0.91.0.4/X11R6
and OpenGL drivers from Nvidia...

OpenGL visualization without motif works well...

I strongly recommend to use OpenMotif instead of Lesstif and have a try
also with the Mesa OpenGL. The combination Lesstif+Nvidia OpenGL is perhaps
explosive.
An OpenMotif rpm for Linux RedHat could be found through the URL
http://www.openmotif.org.

Indeed, I downloaded OpenMotif from www.openmotif.com and now there is no
problem...
