I tried a simple demo using showmodal and it worked well. Can I see
some example were it doesn't work?

For your information:

There are problems using guienv under solaris 2.7 if you link with
libXm.so.4 which is the default motif librarary.  For all the guienv
programs I have run, I either get a BUS error or a segmentation fault.

You can avoid the problem by linking with the libXm.so.3.
