I'm not using Motif, but I note that for my 9.5 build on Ubuntu I had to
specify the x-includes and x-lib dirs for some reason.  Apparently I used
the ridiculously long config command:

$ ./configure --disable-imake --with-screen=Xaw --with-Xaw3d
              --with-Xaw-scrollbars --with-drag-extension --with-perl
              --x-includes=/usr/include/X11 --x-libraries=/usr/lib
              --with-xpm

Probably has more to do with Ubuntu weirdness or misconfigurations on my
part, but I thought I'd throw it out there just to hear myself write.  :-)
