Upgrading to xterm-1.91 fails because it can't find the Xaw3d libraries; emerging Xaw3d first resolves the dependency.

Seemant can you check this out please?
i can confirm this, but i'm using X.Org-X11 on amd64.
I get this as well. I am on x.org with the nvidia drivers p-4 2.6.6 kernel. It says "Unable to successfully link Athena library (-lXaw3d) with test program" but the athena lib is not in portage. I did a google on it and found a package here http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/libs/X/!INDEX.short.html. Id try it out but I have to study for finals.
Has any of you actually got "Xaw3d" in your USE string?
ok, fixed the ebuild to obey the use/configure combination properly. Sorry about this -- seems to be a bug in xterm's configure script.
Thomas, seems like we have a bug in xterm's configure script: it doesn't seem to matter whether you do: configure --with-Xaw3d or configure --without-Xaw3d, it always assumes you want to link with Xaw3d. If you simply don't have Xaw3d installed and don't mention Xaw3d to the configure script, it behaves fine and doesn't want to link. I've adjusted the ebuild for xterm-191 to accommodate for this behaviour, but I think 192's configure script should be a little more attentive :) Thanks :)

ok (the configure script change is relatively minor)
someone in #gentoo reproduced this bug on xterm 196, solution was USE=Xaw3d
