The script doesn't seem to prove that you have the lesstif
libraries in place. Judging from what I see, you should
find stuff such as :
dell: {12} l libXm*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 danny backx 855 Dec 31 13:30 libXm.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 danny backx 14 Dec 31 13:30 libXm.so ->
libXm.so.2.0.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 danny backx 14 Dec 31 13:30 libXm.so.2 ->
libXm.so.2.0.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 danny backx 2017341 Dec 31 13:30 libXm.so.2.0.1
in /usr/X11R6/lib .
Also you say you modified /etc/ld.config but you don't mention
running "ldconfig".
Finally, and I suspect this is the problem, you probably want
to add -L/usr/X11R6/lib to your compiler command line, so
you get :
gcc -o label label.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXm -lXt -lXext -lICE
-lSM -lX11 -I/usr/X11R6/include
Do note that order is important, you want the -L to be
used before the -l arguments.
