Well, if I'm not mistaken, and I have been MANY a time (grin), you might
want to try out compiling the program without the Xt/Xaw/Xmu libraries.
I tried compiling one of my programs by typing in:

	 cc -o myprog myprog.c -lXaw -lXt -lXmu -lX11 -O

and it worked without a hitch.  But then, when I ran it, I got the same
message you did:

	 ld.so: Undefined symbol: __XtInherit

When I went back and compiled the program with:

	 cc -o myprog myprog.c -lX11 -O

it worked just fine.   I wasn't using the Xt widgets, so I didn't need
the libraries.  Hope this works!
