Do you have a crash report you can show me?

My guess is that you are not using the libraries you think you are. My bet is that part of your application is using libraries from /opt/X11/lib and other parts are using libraries from /usr/X11/lib, and they are passing data between them that shouldn't be.

That port has a number of dependencies that overlap what's already in /opt/X11 (the xquartz stuff). Would it be best just to use the xquartz includes/libs that are already present, and just install the libs that openmotif needs that aren't already provided by xquartz?
I would either just install openmotif manually to use /opt/X11 or use MacPorts. Instaling from fink will cause it to use /usr/X11 ...
