I compiled and am using a similar libXaw replacement, libXaw95 (no groans
please), and had no problems with linking to existing libXaw programs
without recompiling, except for color-xterm. Therefore, I suspect that
there is something wrong cropping up in neXtaw.
You can rename the library in the Makefile to libXaw and recompile. Some
programs check the internally listed name of the library, not just the
library filename. I believe many of the "drop-in" replacement Xaw
libraries are compiled as Xaw, instead of Xaw3d, to avoid linking
problems with existing applications.
