It's an ugly and rudimentary X toolkit (API), kind of an MS Windows  
95 clone (look-alike) on UNIX. No human of taste would like to use  
it, so it was developed as industry standard.

Apple's X11 does not have Motif (libXm), no X11 distribution has that  
scrap. You would need to install OpenMotif, or lesstif, the free  
implementation of OSF/Motif, but I have not checked whether it works  
with that flavour.

Xpdf also needs libpaper and libt1 (t1lib, Type 1 library).


The extra software is supplied by Fink or MacPorts, the former  
DarwinPorts.
