Yes, compiling X geomview does require Motif libraries & include-files

[Since you both asked essentially the same question, I'm responding to
you both at once!]

Sorry.   I'm told there is a purchasable version of Motif available for Linux,
but don't know where nor for how much -- anyone else know?  Judging from
Motif-binary-license workstation prices it's probably only a few tens of bucks.

Also, it's apparently legal to distribute binaries linked with Motif 1.1,
so we could make an executable version available if you're interested.
