I wouldn't recommend that either ...

OK, these are normal Motif 2.x functions. You had specified
-I/usr/Motif-2.1/include in CXXFLAGS, so it's understandable
that you also had to specify the libraries if they are in a
non-default place. (BTW, would the configure flags
--with-motif-include=... --with-motif-libdir=... work too?)

It seems difficult to create a configure check for such an
unusual situation, so I'd suggest to leave it at that if
Thomas agrees ...

Best,
