[Bug 366835] Re: in 9.04 for AMD64, nedit will not copy to clipboard

[Brian Ballweber]

I can second this bug.  Running a new install of Ubuntu 9.04, AMD 64bit,
Gnome desktop.  Installed nedit from the standard repo and couldn't get
copy/paste to work.  Error was: Attempt to copy to unlocked clipboard.

Downloading the binaries from nedit.org didn't work for me (due to
64bit?).  Solution that worked for me, was to download source, and
compile and install.

On the Ubuntu side it required installing openmotif and some dev
packages: libmotif3, libmotif-dev, libx-dev, libxt-dev, and perhaps a
few more X11 dev packages (forgot the complete list).  For the nedit
source I had to add in -lXmu to the link line in the makefile.linux
file.

After that compile worked fine.  Tested copy and paste and they worked
fine.  Here is the new info from the Help->Version:
