Hello!

And thank you for the answer!

Indeed, I refer to SlackBuilds/12.1/libraries/openmotif. The problem is 
that the two of them provide similar things, since lesstif is an 
implementation of the motif api(*). I suspect that some (many) files 
have the same names and locations since, as I can understand from the 
SlackBuild file, openmotif gets installed under /usr like lesstif. Thus 
problems may arise.

Best regards,

(*) From lesstifs' description: "It (i.e. lesstif) aims to be source 
compatible with OSF/Motif(R) meaning that the same source code should 
compile with both and work exactly the same."
