Rob-

Did you do what the message suggests, and look in the config.log and
ddd/config.log?  If you search in config.log for XOpenDisplay, you'll
probably find something along the lines of:

configure:27702: checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11
configure:27732: g++ -o conftest -O2 -Wall -fpermissive conftest.cc -lX11  -lSM -lICE 
>&5

Followed by a compile or link error.  It's this error that is causing the
problem you're running into.

I think you should be fine using OpenMotif.

I'm building it under RHEL 5 right now, and didn't encounter the problem
you did.

By any chance, did you forget to install

        libX11-devel

and

        openmotif-devel

?  Those packages will be needed for building any software like ddd.
Also, you are building a 32 bit ddd on a 32 bit install of CentOS 5,
right?
