Hallo Renee

libXm is part of the Motif package. For some (not so inexplicable) reason
you have a 32-bit library installed in a 64-bit system.
This is clear from your error message. The official Motif library costs some
money. If you want, you can install the open-source
clone lesstif (www.lesstif.org) which, I think, is anyway the default on
linux systems. There may exist ready 64-bit binaries to download. If not,
you must compile the source yourself. It is all clearly expained in the
package. From the FAQ in the official site of lesstif, I copy the following,
which may explain the reason for the existence of the 32-bit library in your
system in the first place.

------From the FAQ in www.lesstif.org-----------------------

a.. Application crashes on 64bit architecture
"Somehow" LessTif does still have problems to work properly on 64bit
platforms, e.g. those based on the alpha processor. There's not a simple
known work-around, but we are working to get this fixed! As of releases
above 0.92.26 we hope to iron out another category of crashes. We're
convinced that we will soon provide the same quality as on 32bit platforms!

--------------------------------------------------------------


If I were you, I would install the 64-bit lesstif and see how far this goes
before trying a commercial solution

Good luck

Michael
