My build succeeded, so it *is* possible!  :)

Yes, I noticed that too---but my build didn't fail because of it.

Now *that* is precisely the same behaviour my system exhibits with
libXm.so.0.82 and libncurses, much to my distaste.  Of course, mwm is
currently running perfectly for me.  A `ktrace mwm' followed by a kdump
seemed to indicate that while *ldd* knew where to look, the *dynamic
linker* only looked in /lib, /usr/lib, and (I think) /usr/X11R6/lib.

Which is very interesting, since my /etc/ld.so.conf only listed
/usr/X11R6/lib and /usr/local/lib as the other locations to look for
shared libraries.

In the end, I think I simply copied libXm to somewhere that the dynamic
linker could find it.
