You seem to be using a version of OpenMotif that's binary-incompatible
with Regex Coach.  Or, even more likely, Regex Coach is searching for
the library below /compat/linux.

Maybe these links will help:

(Note that Regex Coach was built with the 4.3 version of the LispWorks
compiler but some of the 4.1/4.2 entries might still apply.)

I have no plans to do that.

There is no version of the LispWorks compiler for FreeBSD.
