I have X11R4 installed in /usr/local/X11R4.  All the mit clients work.
When I did the conrrib clients the first time I got a message to run
ranlib on /usr/local/X11R4/lib/libXt.sa.4.0.  The message is:
ld: /usr/local/X11R4/lib/libXt.sa.4.0: warning: table of contents for archive is
 out of date; rerun ranlib(1)

The application runs fine.  After I run ranlib and recompile, the application
no longer works.  When executed I get a run-time error (I think it is from
ld.so, I am useing shared libs) that the __XtInherit is not defined.  Most
of the contrib stuff will fail with the same error when recompiled.  If I
recompile Xt and let ld warn me all day all the contrib stuff seems to work
(I had to hack at the Imakefiles).  It even messed up when I tryed "ranlib -t".

xlock is one of the programs that do this.

Does anyone else have any idea of what is going wrong?  How to fix it?  Where
to look?

Einstein argued that there must be simplified explanations of nature, because
God is not capricious or arbitrary.  No such faith comforts the software
engineer.
