Make sure the rpm is correct for your distibution version.
Can't you install openmotif using the packagemanager?

Welcome to LQ.
Redhat EL 5 x86_64 = 64 - bit OS.
So why a 32 - bit package ?
openmotif21-2.1.30-14.i386.rpm
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html
QUOTE :
""This package is obsolete. Try find newer openmotif21""
And better delete your email address, to prevent spam.
The LQ option in the Menu will do : "Send email to latkarps"
