- The reason you have a /usr/lib/Motif1.1 and not a corresponding
- /usr/include/Motif1.1 is that without the libraries, the executables
- would not run. They are shared libraries, and the executables were
- linked against them. If you were to remove
- /usr/lib/Motif1.1/libXm.sl, you would be most disappointed. The
- libraries are NOT part of the development environment that must be
- purchased separately, they are part of the executable environment.
