libX.so.2 is not a Motif library...in fact it's not a library at all. IT
doesn't exist. Which makes me think that he meant libXm.so.2, which is
the Motif library.
If that's the case, then whoever build the RPM made a mistake. They need
to either turn off automatic dependancy checking (which would see that the
*_dyn versions all depend on libXm.so.2) or build sub-packages to
include the *_dyn versions seperate from the main distribution. To the
previous poster, you should contact whoever rolled that RPM (if it's
listed in the package metadata).
In the meantime, just install the non-RPM version.
And so the chronicles report that David Harvill spake thusly unto the masses:
