You’re quite right, I didn’t have that package installed.  It quite surprises 
me that a full desktop install didn’t include even the motif lib and headers 
anymore. :-/

Do we know whether a build of CDE should work with the vendor Motif libs?

And are either of those packages available for SPARC?  (I have a T5240, but 
only VMs on my Mac for Solaris x86, which I’m not likely to leave running given 
the memory and performance hit)
