52If you get errors about missing libraries when calling arb, have a look if there
53are different versions of the missing libraries in /usr/lib and create a link
54there.

56Most likely you'll be missing libXm.so.4, so the following example describes
57how to solve the problem for that library:
58
59    # as superuser:
60    cd /usr/lib
61    ln -s libXm.so.4 libXm.so.3
