With LessTif 0.91.4, try

  /usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/include/Xm/Xm.h
  /usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif2.0/include/Xm/Xm.h

I don't see why having OpenMotif would be a problem, even though I built the
libraries using LessTif. All that's required is libXm.so.

Are your fonts set up properly?

The source code is exactly the same for any operating system.
