Hrm... did you do a "make install" on lesstif? Actually, now that I think
about it, I think lesstif doesn't make the shared library (which is what
you need) by default. It's an option to ./configure I believe. Type
./configure --help in the lesstif sources and it should tell you. I think
lesstif doesn't install the share libraries by default because it's much
more source compatible than binary compatible so far. And did you do a
"updatedb" before you used locate? If libXm.so.1 had just been installed,
locate wouldn't be able to find it since it normally updates the database
every night at around 4AM.
If stuff still doesn't work, then you might want to just get the rpms if
they're available.
HTH,
