I've seen this error on rare occasions before. It generally seems
to be due to compiling with X11R5 header files and linking with the
libXt from X11R4. Maybe on your system there is nothing in
/usr/lib/X11R5, so the linker is finding the one in /usr/lib/X11R4
before it searches /usr/contrib/mitX11R5/lib.
It is hard to make xboard compile out of the box on HP systems because
(for no apparent reason) HP does not like to supply libXaw and the
Xaw header files. So every system admin gets them himself from the
MIT distibution and installs them in a different place. The configure
script has some special kludges in it that try to make things work
more of the time, but it's doing the wrong thing on your machine.
I have no access to any HP machines, so I have to rely on fragmentary
reports from users to determine the right thing to do.
