In Redhat 7.2 libXm.so.2 is provided by the lesstif-0.92.32-6.i386.rpm 
package and no libXm.so.3 library file is provided by default. However I 
have found this version of lesstif to be flakey and would recommend to 
remove it and replace it with the Redhat 7.3 openmotif-2.2.2-5.i386.rpm, 
openmotif-devel-2.2.2-5.i386.rpm and openmotif21-2.1.30-1.i386.rpm 
packages. The openmotif package provides the libXm.so.3 library while 
the openmotif21 package provides the libXm.so.2 library.
