Mark,

The Makeinc.linux_g77 file has the Motif library defined as:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a 
This uses the static library.

Your error message shows errors such as:
g77 -fno-second-underscore -I/software/gempak/NAWIPS/gempak/include 
-I/software/gempak/NAWIPS/os/linux/include -O    -o nalarm nalarm.o label.o 
list.o string.o text.o viewfile.o /software/gempak/NAWIPS/os/linux/lib/gemlib.a 
/software/gempak/NAWIPS/os/linux/lib/Nxmlib.a 
/software/gempak/NAWIPS/os/linux/lib/gemlib.a 
/software/gempak/NAWIPS/os/linux/lib/cgemlib.a \
        -L/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a -lXmu -lSM -lICE -lXp -lXext  
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXt -lX11 

label.o(.text+0x64): In function `SetLabel':
: undefined reference to `XmStringCreateLtoR'


If you installed your libXm.a openmotif build in /usr/X11R6/lib/ as appears 
above,
then try the command:
% nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a | grep XmStringCreateLtoR

It should respond such as:

000002f0 T XmStringCreateLtoR
         U XmStringCreateLtoR

You can try using the "-lXm" shareable library instead of the static library as 
well
in the nm command, as well as in the Makeinc.linux_g77 config file. Perhaps
the shareable library is needed depending on how the openmotif
library configured/built on your system.

It would seems that either your build and install of the library failed and 
installed
libXm.a without all of the expected routines, which would be the case if
"nm" didn't fined the named routines, or the libtool configuration with 
openmotif
had some problems that were not evident during the install.
