Dear Arne

thanks for your response. I checked the libXm.a, and it DID come from 
open-motif
# pkg_which /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a
open-motif-2.2.3_2

then I ran the commands you have shown, and the results are identical to 
yours. But still, the java is not compiling and getting stuck at the 
same point again and again. Please do let me know if I should do 
anything more or if any more information is required, and I'll try my 
best to supply those.

Best regards, and thanks once again.
