Oh, if that would resolve it, I have no problems to link against lesstif. But 
before I potentially mess up my setup: Are there any disadvantages using 
lesstif? Anything else to be aware of? I'm asking because I'm wondering why 
the linux distributions do not ship with ddd linked to lesstif (As you 
proposed in the installation notes).

I'm sorry that I can't help here eather. I have never worked with Motif.
