Last week, I ran into the same problem. Scott Ellis <scotte@warped.com>
answered:

You need to do an "ar d libxforms.a gl.o", followed by a "ranlib libforms.a"=
,
and follow the last couple of lines of xforms/mkconfig.h to generate a new
libxforms.so.0.86. Then do a "make install" and it should work.

Best wishes,
