I had not realized that.  It sounded like this was still the case because
you had to fuss with the linker parameters.  It does seem that Debian and
Ubuntu do not have this version of Motif and there is no pre-compiled binary
for these systems distributed by the maintainer.

ftp://ftp.ics.com/openmotif/2.3/2.3.2/

It is not clear that this is a deal-breaker; the README file claims that 2.x
releases are binary compatible and it is doubtful that anything in the
motifd has changed that would break anything.  A random user would be able
to add a symlink on their system but package maintainers will have to relink
or rebuild motifd on these systems.
