[Xastir] mac version of xastir yielding error

[Keith Kaiser]

In this thread you said you tried both openmotif and lesstif. I've  
been told and believe that openmotif is the cause of the problem I  
have with some of the menus in Xastir. But no one has ever been able  
to give me a step by step instruction on how to remove it. I've tried  
all the vague instructions, I've asked the Apple forums, I've asked  
people here all without any luck.

Step by step, how do I uninstall openmotif so I can install lesstif?

Thanks.
