57If you get errors about missing libraries when calling arb, have a look if there
58are different versions of the missing libraries in /usr/lib and create a link
59there.

61Most likely you'll be missing libXm.so.4, so the following example describes
62how to solve the problem for that library:
63
64    # as superuser:
65    cd /usr/lib
66    ln -s libXm.so.4 libXm.so.3
