APS no longer has any developer(s) permanently tasked with maintaining MEDM, although we will assign someone to fix any serious bugs that arise and to keep it building on the latest OS releases.  We only use MEDM with Motif or OpenMotif, and our management won't allow us to put any effort into making it work with Lesstif.  If someone wants to work out what needs changing we'd be happy to review and possibly merge any patch files, although personally I suspect the problems are all inside Lesstif, not in MEDM (we won't accept patches that cause the Motif build to break).

I'm not sure it's worth doing personally (sorry).
