Many thanks to Tim Carlson <tim@santafe.edu> , who hit the nail on the head with
the following:

Whan I adapted this to my setup and remembered to point the appropriate
environment variables (PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to the X11R6.3 stuff, all the
contributed programs except maze compiled and installed successfully. Maze is
still giving parameter errors, but oh well...
Tim also suggested that using a newer version of gcc (2.7.2, rather than my
version 2.5.6) would help, too. If someone here desperately needs the maze
program, I might try that.
Thanks also to Guenter Millahn <gm@Informatik.TU-Cottbus.DE> , who suggested:

I didn't try this yet.
