Non functioning compose key using X11R6

My emacs version is 19.27. 
The configuration is
./configure  --prefix=/local/gnu --with-x-toolkit sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3_U1

It is compiled and linked to use X11R6 pl 5.

The problem:

	The compose  sequences that on X11R5  and OpenWin gives me ISO
	latin 1 characters doesn't work using X11R6. An example 
	compose a * used to give me an `e'.

Some information from the contrib/faqsX11R6-on-SUN-FAQ on ftp.x.org: 

The compose key won't work
 
   The XConsorsium says it's the applications fault, and they won't
   provide any patch for it. Who did the hack for X11R5 says he won't for
   R6.
 
     ``For example with any correctly written Motif, OLIT, or R6 Xaw
     based product, I make certain that my LANG environment variable is
     set, e.g. on Suns I do 'setenv LANG C; setenv LC_CTYPE iso_8859_1',
     on an SGI, I do 'setenv LANG fr_BE' or perhaps 'setenv LANG nl_BE',
     on an HP I do 'setenv LANG french', then I run the program. Then
     compose sequences work.
 
     Note: The definition of a correctly written program, in this case,
     is defined as a program that calls XtSetLanguageProc prior to
     initializing the Intrinsics. [...]
