Might be an old a.out compiled package. Try a ldd on it and if says
it has DLL Jump something, it is an old a.out. Install xcompat then.

Normally, try to symlink libXaw.so to your favorite libXaw<something>

libXaw.<major version>.so.

Pbmplus has been obsoleted to netpbm. If a package requires pbmplus, complain to the developper.
