Hi,

I am installing a software called abaqus on SLES SP3, but I am getting this error.

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

after some serach I realized that I don’t have opnemotif installed.

How can I install it please.

Regards,  
islem

Hi  
Lets move this one to the right place, I forgot there is a SLED Applications, no SLES Applications? [https://forums.suse.com/forumdisplay.php?16-SLES-Configure-Administer](https://forums.suse.com/forumdisplay.php?16-SLES-Configure-Administer)

Hi  
Moved to SLES Configure/Administer.

In SLES the package is motif, but in your case the supporting runtime lib is libXm4 so you need to install that.

```auto
zypper in libxm4
```
