Sorry for what? I am sorry that I am bothering people like you who put
in lot of efforts to make debian what it is.

Yes :-( My understanding of the situation is this: the widget set used
by xcircuit/xfig is Xaw based. If as the docs suggest, I can get tk
widgets for the UI, it will be nice. That is the reason of my
compilation experiment.

No luck. Same problem. I still do not like the Makefile generated
automatically. I have to add directories of xlibs and tcllibs and
include files. It somehow does not check and get them.
