I think that your basic problem is that the Motif header files are not set up
for C++.  If you get the latest version of the DEC C++ compiler ( Version 1.2
shipping in December) then it includes the Motif header files that will work
with DEC C++.  I know that these work with DEC C++, I don't know if they have 
been tested with g++ or any other C++ implementation.

Note also that these headers are for Motif V1.1.3
