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. The practice of statically linking in a Motif library should have died with SunOS 4.

I upgraded from openSuSE 10.3 to openSuSE 11.2 a few days ago, and now I can no longer build motifd. For whatever reason, I now need to specify -ljpeg, -lpng, -lXmu, and -lXft to get these dependent libraries linked in. This wasn't required before for 10.3, but it is now. But from what I can tell, these dependencies were already in the 2010-01 binaries I built using openSuSE 10.3. Now I have to be explicit about this.
For the maintainers of the various Linux distributions of cmucl, can I just add these libraries explicitly? Will that cause a problem?
