The infamous Motif 2.0 libraries..  You should look for a package that
has "static" in it (I think..)   Either that, or whoever made the RPM
should do it again, statically linking the Motif libs..  (unless you
want to shell out the cash for it...)

I'm just wondering when Java will start using GTK or something...
