Yes, Ultrix 4.1 is X11R3 but the X librairies delivered with the
software are *supposed* to be X11R4 compatible (?, what is that supposed
to mean?)
Motif 1.1 is X11R4. The third error signifies that the compiler does not
know anything about XmResourceBaseProc. Probably because it is only
found in R4 of X. Why don't you try *linting* your code before compiling
it, you may get more detailed messages. (I always lint before I compile,
saves me lots of time.)
