David,

Are you building from source?
The current Solaris Motif environment is 2.1 compatible. The
/usr/dt/include/Xm/Xm.h file defines:
#define XmVERSION_STRING "@(#)Motif Version 2.1.0"
unless MOTIF12_HEADERS is defined, which shouldn't be. 

The /usr/dt/lib/libXm.so is a link on our systems to libXm.so.4,
which is 2.1 compatible:

% strings libXm.so | grep Version
motifVersion
MotifVersion
$XpmVersion: 3.4i $
$XpmVersion: 3.2c $
@(#)Motif Version 2.1.0

If your libXm.so is pointing to the older libXm.so.3, you would have:
% strings libXm.so.3 | grep Version
@(#)OSF/Motif Version 1.2.6

Check your /usr/dt/lib environment and make sure it is current to
libXm.so.4, otherwise, its possible that you did not upgrade your
motif if you upgraded the Solaris OS on an older system.
