Errors messages trying to install 3DxWare on Ubuntu:
/etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Errors messages trying to execute the cube demo on Ubuntu:

To install the files for 3DxWare for Ubuntu to the corresponding directories
and to run the driver you need root privileges.
Make sure you fulfill the following prerequisites:
You should have installed the X/Motif shared library. Where is included the libXm.so.3
sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev
In some cases some X11 fonts may not have been installed, which are used to
draw on the device LCD.
Please make sure you have installed the 75 and/or 100DPI fonts for X11.
apt install xfonts-75dpi
apt install xfonts-100dpi
The files for the driver are provided with the following archive:
3dxware-linux-v1-8-0.x86_64.tar.gz
Please copy the file 3dxware-linux-v1-8-0.x86_64.tar.gz directly into the /tmp directory
and extract and run the script install-3dxunix.sh:
tar xfz 3dxware-linux-v1-8-0.x86_64.tar.gz install-3dxunix.sh
./install-3dxunix.sh
Please make sure the driver is started before you launch your application.
For the USB devices start the driver with the following command:
/etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d usb
I don't like the process in background, so I prefer to run the driver when I need it.
I created a shortcut in the desktop
