Description Andrew Niefer

See patch on bug 205608

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #205608 +++

Bug 201414 removed the load time dependency on the WS libraries from the launcher.

However, motif.aix.ppc still has these dependencies.

On AIX we load the shared module libXt.a(shr4.o), however the symbol "XtInitialize" does not exist in that module, but instead exists in libXt.a(sharedlib.o).

Attempts to load libXt.a(sharedlib.o) were unsuccessful.  _XtInitialize does exist in shr4.o, but calling this skips vendor initialization which causes problems.

bug 205608 has the patch released to 3.5.2, it was written to only affect AIX.  In 3.6 head it may change a little.

In head I made the "eclipseLibrary" variable global for all platforms.  The local "library" variable has been removed.
