It just means you will need Open Motif installed. Most of the Linux distributions have these libraries available through apt, yum, or whatever. There is a FreeBSD port as well. This should just be noted in the install documentation for the convenience of new users. Ok. That seemed to work. I don't need to specify the extra libraries explicitly, but ldd shows that motifd now references jpeg, png, and Xft

The practice of statically linking in a Motif library should have died with SunOS 4.
What? We haven't done static linking of Motif for quite some time. Ray
