First check if the run time loader is finding the shared library
$ /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep libXm.so
        libXm.so.3 (libc6) => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3
        libXm.so (libc6) => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so

if the previous command does not work,
we need to verify if /etc/ld.so.conf is configure correctly

We suppose that openmotif is already installed
$ rpm -ql openmotif | grep libXm
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3.0.1

This is telling us that /etc/ld.so.conf must have the path
/usr/X11R6/lib
$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/kerberos/lib
...

After adding the path do
$ su -c ldconfig

have fun
