You are drawing a fine distinction. If you have CDE you do not separately
ave Motif. The Motif libraries and header files are truely part of CDE.
The libXm that comes with CDE provides Motif support, but is not exactly
the same as teh corrersponding real Motif library.
If your OS does this, it's a true abomination! (I like that word.)
There is no reason for ANY difference between the CDE libXm and the
Motif libXm and in many operating systems the /usr/dt/lib/libXm entry
is just a link to the /usr/lib entry. In Digital UNIX, they don't even
do that. (I personally believe that this is the correct way to do it
as ld should always find the /usr/lib stuff, regardless!)
