Summary


Details

NX 11 on Red Hat 7.x
When launching ugmenu, it manifests in a shell and not the GUI.

Test by launching NX directly - (i.e run ./ugraf or ./ugii)

error while loading shared libraries  libXm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.



Solution

The libXm.so.4 error indicates an OpenMotif issue - probably explaining why there was no GUI when running ugmenu.



The following file is required:
/usr/lib64/libXm.so.4


The missing libXm.so.4 can be found in the RedHat openmotif package . 
Obtain and install "openmotif-2.3.3-1.el6.x86_64

Notes and References

NX Installation Guide for Linux and Mac OS X – page 17 under "Method 1":


The first method uses ugmenu. This is a user menu with an available Motif interface that allows you to select the NX 11.0 product that you wish to run
