Just a guess (Jonathan can probably clear this up a little - he's sort
of been looking at how well pmaxs and pkgs work together), but do you
have a link from libXm.so.0.82 to libXm.so.0?  Look at the structure
in (say) /usr/X11R6/lib, and try to make the lesstif libraries look
similar.

For example,

	vlad:/usr/X11R6/lib 11> ls -l libX11*
	-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  1978400 Dec 26 11:09 libX11.a
	lrwxrwxr-x  1 root  wheel       13 Dec 26 11:09 libX11.so.6@ -> libX11.so.6.1
	-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin   bin    1423679 Dec 26 11:09 libX11.so.6.1*
	vlad:/usr/X11R6/lib 12>

Try making lesstif look like:

	-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel    xxxxx Mar 27 12:00 libXm.a
	-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel    xxxxx Mar 27 12:00 libXm.so.0 -> libXm.so.0.82
	-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    xxxxx Mar 27 12:00 libXm.so.0.82*


Hmm, is there any reason the .so's are executable in /usr/X11R6/lib?

Hope this helps,
 Simon.
