I don't know, the problem is that for legal reasons openmotif was
dropped from Fedora and lesstif conflicts with it. I don't think you can
install lesstif and motif at the same time, and most probably installing
a package that includes a library search order by default will conflict
and/or break existing lesstif apps (I have not tested that) - either now
or in the future if the library so names match. 

(BTW, just now I'm in the process of releasing a version for fc6 that
does the same). 

In the only app in Planet CCRMA that uses openmotif (snd) I'm using this
during the build process:

export LDFLAGS='-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/openmotif%{_prefix}/%{_lib}

so that the proper libraries are found at run time (snd is the only
reason I'm packaging openmotif, I wouldn't otherwise). 

The proper thing to do would be to try to make both lesstif and
openmotif coexist appropriately - alas, time is short and at some point
I have to say enough and go with a hack... sorry :-(
