Hello all!
First of all, thank you to everybody that answered me.

I am trying with bxform-088.tgz.

My machine information...

gandalf:/zip/xform# uname -a
Linux gandalf 2.0.29 #4 Fri Aug 29 23:50:08 MET DST 1997 i486

My X-Forms doesn't make the file libforms.so.0.88; but, since a program
needed it, I make a symbolic link from the library libforms.a to
libforms.so.0.88 (I think that my error could be here: my program is
searching for a shared lib and it finds a static one).

a) Where can I find libforms.so.0.88 ?
It is need for my program.

b) What is bxforms-088.tgz, and why doesn't it run?
I do make install, but make demo doesn't run well.

If I do... (Tristan, thank you)

gandalf:/usr/lib# file libform*
libform.a: current ar archive
libform.so: symbolic link to libform.so.3.0
libform.so.1.9: symbolic link to libform.so.1.9.9e
libform.so.1.9.9e: ELF 32-bit LSB dynamic lib i386 (386 and up) Version
1
libform.so.2.1: symbolic link to libform.so.1.9.9e
libform.so.3.0: symbolic link to libform.so.1.9.9e
libform_g.a: current ar archive
libform_p.a: current ar archive
libforms.a: current ar archive random library

Has libform.* anything to do with libforms.* ?

Thanks in advance,
Carlos.
