Hi Akkana,
XEphem does not directly use -lXp at all, but it is needed by some
-lXm. First thing to do is just try linking without it. Let me know...

Sure enough! If I remove -lXp from XLIBS in the Makefile,
xephem-3.7.7 compiles and runs using the Motif that's in Debian.
It doesn't compile with the Motif shipped with XEphem.
In other words, this does not work:
$ make MOTIF=../../libXm/linux86
This does work, on Debian Sid (after editing the Makefile) and it also works
on Debian Jessie (stable):
$ sudo apt-get install libmotif-common libmotif-dev $ make
I haven't tested much, just verified that it runs on both Debian versions
and shows a few of the basic windows. But if there were any hidden
dependencies I hope it would have given a warning at link time.
It would be interesting to hear if removing -lXp works on other distros.
