I think you do it like this;
./configure --without-motif --with-lesstif
This works for packages where they install using different filenames
or into different directories, but in the case of OpenMotif/Lesstif:
They install into the same areas using the same filenames. One is a
direct replacement for the other.
In my opinion OpenMotif is the better package, but only if it's easy
for you to upgrade/downgrade it to a version that doesn't have the
bug. 2.3.0 has the particular bug. Earlier/later versions do not.
I'm running 2.3.1 here and it's working fine (OpenSUSE-11.0 Linux).
Lesstif exhibits other bugs, usually much less visible ones.
Lesstif is an open-source replacement for OpenMotif and does a good
job but isn't quite as "polished" as Motif.
So: If you can easily upgrade/downgrade Motif, try that. If not,
try getting rid of it and installing Lesstif. You'll need both the
libraries and the development headers for the same version.

Thanks Curt,
I guess I'm going to have to wait for Apple to update OpenMotif
internally because no matter what I do, Xastir compiles with v2.3.0.
I downloaded v2.3.1 of OpenMotif, compiled and installed it. Then I
did the ./configure for Xastir using a --with-openmotif-2.3.1 and it
still came up with version 2.3.0.
Go figure!
I admit however that may lack of Unix/Linix knowledge is mammoth and
is most likely the real reason I can't get it to work.
