A few people have been having problems compiling some X applications with
the 4.1.2 OW 3.0 MIT libraries.  The following aren't found when linking:

        _get_wmShellWidgetClass();
        _get_applicationShellWidgetClass();

It turns out that those two are in the static libXmu.a and missing from the
libXmu.so.4.0, but in the libXmu.sa.4.0 portion of the dynamic libraries.

By adding a -Bstatic before the -l list of libraries, the program compiles
without errors.

Or, according to e-mail from Bill Jones, add the following to your main program.
 
     if (0) {
        get_wmShellWidgetClass();
        get_applicationShellWidgetClass();
     }
 
 
The error will go away.

The question that is still lingering is what is wrong with the Sun OW 3.0,
SunOS 4.1.2 environment that causes this to fail?

The example program that has the problem is xcdplayer, available on uunet.
