[Xastir] OSX 10.15.7 Macports: configure: error: **** MOTIF LIBRARIES NOT FOUND ****

[Tom Russo]

Look in config.log and see what the actual failure is.

Configure finds libraries not simply by looking for the file, but by actually
trying to link them into a small program.  If that fails, it says it can't
find them.  There are often reasons for the failure other than the file not
existing --- for example, the library can be broken in some way, or require
dependencies that don't exist.

Look in config.log and try to find the spot where it actually claims it can't
find libXm.a, and the error message from the linker should help to explain
why it doesn't work.  But the solution to whatever that problem may be might
not be obvious at first.
