Please clarify what you mean by "the issues".

> Why is Motif hard to come by 

Because it is commercial software. You have to pay for it.
Several vendors sell Motif for Linux. See the "Linux Commercial HOWTO",
section "Product groups", subsection "X Windows related products" for 
details.

> and what is Lesstif?

Lesstif (http://www.hungry.com/products/) is a freeware clone of Motif
1.2. Once it is finished, you can use it to compile or run code that
requires Motif.

Hope this helps,

have the decency to betray his country.
