Ok, thanks for supplying that information.

If you have administrative (e.g. root) access on "toon", I highly
recommend you install the packages provided by CentOS for OpenMotif.  If
you have root access, you should be able to type (as root)

        yum install openmotif openmotif-devel

Once you've done that, you don't need any of the Lesstif stuff you
downloaded and compiled AND the configure from ddd should just
automatically find Xm/Xm.h (which is in the openmotif-devel package) and
libXm.so.4 (which is in the openmotif package).

If you do NOT have administrative access on "toon" (it's a system run
by someone else) and you can't convince whoever does run "toon" to install
the openmotif and openmotif-devel packages, then you will need to use
your locally-compiled version of Lesstif.

I'll assume for now that you can get openmotif and openmotif-devel
installed.  If that's not the case and we need to use your lesstif,
respond and let us know that, and we'll proceed from there.
