cd /usr/X11R6/lib/; ln -s libXaw3d.so libXaw3d.so.7 ...works as a temporary workaround.
Can you please proved your emacs version? x11-libs/Xaw3d provided libXaw3d.so.*
I have the same problem with gpm-1.20.1 I am using Xaw3d version 1.5-r1 it resides in /usr/lib as libXaw3d.so.8.o there are links to this file as libXaw3d.so and libXaw3d.so.8 I made a link to it as libXaw3d.so.8 and gpm emerge nicely. Peter.
In the last comment the last link is as libXaw3d.so.7 of course. Peter
Normally, if so version number has changed you need to recompile everything depending on that library (at least on Gentoo). revdep-rebuild is intended to help that. Are you saying it is better to make emacs depend on libXaw3d.so (without version number)?
I don't think it's related to emacs; the point is you need to recompile everything depending on Xaw3d when you upgrade Xaw3d package (and its shared library version has been changed).
