[Xastir] Newbie question (again)

Hello all. 

I've been on before seeking help when installing Xastir under Cygwin. I'm now 
trying to install Xastir under SuSE 9.0 and have hit a wall - hoping someone 
can help. 

I've done the CVS download of Xastir, I'm now trying to configure using the ./
configure command. After loading a few modules needed by Xastir using YaST, I 
am stuck at the point in trying to load the Motif libraries. 
The following is the response from the shell:

configure: error: *** Cannot find Motif include files:  Please install one of

kk6rw at linux:~/xastir>

I run YaST and it does show OpenMotif is already installed. I cannot find an 
instance of Lesstif using YaST. 

I also notice it says Xastir V. 1.3.1 yet I did a cvs update which I thought 
would get me to the latest release. 

I would sure appreciate any words of wisdom and help.
