This means you can run applications linked against that library. It does not
mean you can compile and link applications that use that library. For that,
you need to have the library's header files installed, as well as a
"libXm.so" symbolic link to the actual library. Typically these are
available in a separate "-dev" package. Look for that, install it, and try
again.
