in Insure++

This article provides steps to allow Insra to be used on Ubuntu 16.04. With recent versions of Ubuntu, they are no longer using a library that Insure++ uses to display the Insure++ Violations in Insra.

To resolve this behavior, please perform the following in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev

After the package is installed, you may see another error message when trying to launch Insra:

If so, please continue with the following instructions to resolve the behavior:
1. Open "/etc/apt/sources.list" in a text editor that has write permissions to this file. (Using Sudo will work)
2. Append this line to sources list at the bottom:
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main
4. Once added, run the following: sudo apt update
5. After that is executed, run: sudo apt install libxp6

After installing the packages, you will be able to use Insra to have it display the Insure++ Violations.
