I just downloaded the LessTif 0.89.9 and tryed untarring it and got the
following errors

tar: usr/X11R6/include/Mrm: Could not create symlink to
`../LessTif/Motif1.2/include/Mrm': Permission denied

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Based off how the tar file is layed out I untarred it from /

if that is the case how can it link to ../Lesstif from the root directory?

using tar xfvz

did I use the wrong tar command?
