When I search for "Motif" packages, YaST tells me (in alphabetical order) that the following are installed: • libGLwM1 : Motif OpenGL drawing area widget library • libMrm4 : Motif Resource Manager library • libUil4 : Motif User Interface Language library • libXm4 : Motif runtime library • motif : Motif Runtime Programs • motif-devel : Motif Include Files and Libraries Mandatory for Development Not installed are: • motif-debuginfo : Debug information for package motif • motif-debugsource : Debug sources for package motif • motif-devel-debuginfo : Debug information for package motif-devel If motif-devel were not installed, configure would not find, as it does even without my help, the Motif include files; and the existence of the unversioned /usr/lib64/libXm.so as a soft link pointing where it should, is mentioned in one of my ealier messages.
