X for dummies, or, how to build DDD...

Question on building DDD, gnu's Data Display Debugger,
which I downloaded this morning:

I run the configure script, and it fails with the following
error:
...
checking for X11/Xaw/Form.h... yes
checking for X11/Xaw/Panner.h... yes
checking for X11/Xaw/Porthole.h... yes
checking for X11/Xmu/Editres.h... yes
configure: error: The Motif library '-lXm' could not be
found.
                  Please use the configure options
'--with-motif-includes=DIR'
                  and 'with-motif-libraries=DIR' to specify
the Xm location.
                  See the files 'config.log' and
'ddd/config.log'
                  for further diagnostics.
configure: error: ./configure failed for ddd


I tried the commands:

find / -name "libXm.a" -print
find / -name "*Xm*" -print

The first brought back nothing, the second brought back
lots of different stuff, the closest to libXm.a being:

/usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.0
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so


Doing an rpm -qa gave the following X packages:

XFree86-3.3.6-20
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-3.3.6-20
XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6-20
XFree86-devel-3.3.6-20
XFree86-libs-3.3.6-20
XFree86-xfs-3.3.6-20


Question: Did they change the library names, etc., with
XFree86-4.0? I've been looking around in the DDD docs this
morning with no luck. Or possibly I saw the needed info but
didn't recognize it as such.


If it helps, I'm running RH 6.2. Many thanks for any help--
