I was trying to compile a Motif application and (after some tinkering
with the -L and -I flags) almost succeeded in compiling it except for
the error :

    /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so: file not recognized: File format not
recognized

A "file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so" displays:

    /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so: symbolic link to libXm.so.1.2

A "file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.1.2" displays:

    /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.1.2: FreeBSD/i386 compact demand paged
shared library not stripped

The compiler command I am running is (and I realize I probably have more
-L and -I flags than I absolutely need):

    cc [program] -o [output] -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/usr/X11R6/lib -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 \
        -L/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-L/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 \
        -lXm -lXt -lX11

Four questions:

1) Is there something I am forgetting?

2) Is this library known to be borken? Or is my version terribly
out-of-date?

3) If I need to recompile, where does the libXm source code live? I did
a make world in the /usr/X11R6/src/xc directory and could not find the
compiled library.

4) If I can't get libXm.so to work, can I play any games with libXm.a
and static linking to get the necessary object code?

Thanks for any help anyone can give.
