I'm trying to install the Nedit test editor which depends on openmotif.
However, openmotif fails to install (see below). Anybody have a solution for this?

The openmotif port is unmaintained and the organization of the openmotif web site is incomprehensible to me. Maybe they no longer offer that version. I found the file on another site and added it to the portfile. Wait a few hours, "sudo port sync", and then try again. If you can find a newer archive at the openmotif web site, I'd be happy to update the portfile to that version instead.
