Re: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin-- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?

Robert,

Please send in the results of "cygcheck -c lesstif" and report on 
whether you have built lesstif yourself or if you are using the stock 
lesstif package for Cygwin.

I get the following output (which is the latest version):

$ cygcheck -c lesstif
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
lesstif              0.93.91-5      OK
