why is -lXaw3d not found by ldd?

[Peter Hiscocks]

Have you tried asking Brian V. Smith, maintainer of xfig, this question?
He's a very helpful guy and his email address is under the 'help' menue.

(Mind you, if you can't get the thing operational, this suggestion won't be
much help, but I can give his address in that case.)
