nextaw lib & Xaw3d headers... broken again

(insert (emacs-version)) XEmacs 21.2 (beta25) "Hephaestus" [Lucid] (i586-pc-linux) of Thu Dec 30 1999 on boffi95.stru.polimi.it i installed (xmkmf; make install) the latest nextaw libs AND headers the headers were put under /usr/X11R6/include/neXtaw, and all of libXaw and libXaw3d were left alone (no links) i then configured like this: % configure ... --with-athena=next --with-*=athena ... but it looks like configure decided to use the Xaw3d headers and the neXtaw libraries (it's recorded in config.status) of course, xemacs is broken in particular, it hangs nicely when i try to exit using the menubar having some modified buffer when i enter the dialog box a random letter is shown in the minibuffer, and while the dialog box responds to mouse events, xemacs doesn't, and when i finally kill the dialog box, that apparently does't communicate with xemacs, the whole app dies i include only the lisp backtrace, but if a stack dump is needed i will promptly do do you think i have to send my configure.log? next-command-event() byte-code("..."
