Have a look at the manual of "apt-cache". You can use it to search the
package descriptions for keywords, for example

$ apt-cache search open motif

More information on each returned package name is also available:

$ apt-cache show libmotif3 libmotif-dev

If you are really stuck and don't know where to find somefile.h or
somelibrary.so, you can install the package "apt-file" and do

# apt-file update
$ apt-file search somefile.h
$ apt-file search somelibrary.so
