SuSE 9.0 eh?  Now I can really help you.  ;-)

It's telling you to install openmotif and openmotif-devel packages.

You probably just installed openmotif.

You don't want lesstif anyway.  OpenMotif works better.

It should.  I'll check into that.  I might have messed something up.

Looks like configure.ac is correct.  You need to make sure you have
autoconf and automake installed, then run "./bootstrap.sh" in order
to remake your "configure" script.  After that and a normal
configure/make/make install run, it should be telling you the
correct version.
