Have you got "XKeysymDB" installed in the X11 lib directory possibly under
/usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB or /usr/local/lib/X11/XKeysymDB etc ?
When I hand installed Motif I was getting these warnings and found that
I hadn't installed the XKeysymDB file that was included with the Motif Xm
library.  This file defines all these additional "osf" Keysyms and is
searched by Xlib (XKeysymToString() and XStringToKeysym() in
lib/X/XStrKeysym.c).

I have no real idea what the above sentence means, am I out of touch with
industry jargon or am I just too young to remember?? 8-)
