Are you referring to:
openmotif-2.3.0-0.3.fc7.ccrma.i386.rpm
openmotif-devel-2.3.0-0.3.fc7.ccrma.i386.rpm

Because I have compiled nedit (and another Motif program) against them. 
They don't work for me (on an F7 X86_64 system).

Or is there something more recent which I have not found? Because the 
only thing for Fedora that I can find here:
http://www.motifzone.net/index.php
(which is where openmotif.org directs downloads to) are FC5 and FC6 
packages. There does not appear to be anything for F7, F8 or F9. F7 has 
been around for quite a long time, so I am afraid I have to question the 
level of commitment.

By the way, if openmotif were to support business Linux users, I would 
expect support for current Redhat Enterprise Linux. But that same site 
only provides prebuilt binaries for REL3 and REL4. The current version 
is REL5, which has also been out for awhile.
