since MOTIF is hardly free, I assume you could try with Lesstiff. RPMs
are all over the place.

JDK 2.0? Netscape's Java VM? Jikes?

for jre/jdk try sun. for Jikes try www.alphaworks.ibm.com, also
freshmeat is a great place to research, although it's far from being
complete.

Motif and clones make more sense dynamically linked since those are BIG
libraries and on commercial systems like Sun almost all apps share them
in memory. cheap beggers in the Linux world either link their handywork
to the free lestiff, or download a binary staticlly precompiled with
Motif (thus no need for royalty costs for the user), which eats up more
memory (static motif can't be shared AFAIK...) but looks like the author
intended.
