   I'd love to build Amaya 8.x (the last one with Motif support with   
   OpenMotif, but I am not able too; I tried editing the code   
   but I get some c++ error which I can't fix). It's 99% ready.   
      
   OTOH, Arena does it fine.   
      
   https://0x0.st/XD3Y.tgz   
      
   If anyone wants to try Arena instead of Amaya, untar, it,   
   head to arena-last/WWW/Arena/,   
   install the dependencies and run make clean;make.
