I remember it. It is because of an error in makefile.in. If you read
config.log file, generated by configure script, it uses a wrong link order,
i.e. -lX11 -lXaw -lXmu... something like that, If I remember correctly the
link order of -lXt was wrong too, it should have been after -lXma and -lXaw.
You need to fix the link orders in Makefile.in. Or you can get mxterm
sources (mxterm-src.tar.bz2)from "contrib" directory, and copy configure and
Makefile.in to your sources directory.
