I'm about to install Oracle 7.1.4 on Solaris 2.4, and saw your post. I do not have EITHER libXm.a OR libXm.so in the Motif libraries that were install. I DO have a libXmu.a AND a libXmu.so. In fact, all the dynamic motif libraries seem to have their "a" static equivalents in my installation. Do you guys mean libXmu.a? Any clues about the discrepancy?

The package I installed is called SUNWmfrun, which is the Motif Runtime libraries provides on the Solaris CDROM. Pls email me directly. Thanks!
