I ran into a similar problem on a SunOS with the same version of
XForms. I have been trying to remember exactly what I did. For one thing,
check the permissions on the libforms.a and/or libforms.so, and that they are
in a standard place (you may even have to set the LD_RUN_PATH as well as the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH if they are not in a standard place, such as /usr/lib).
Since it compiles ok (right? no error messages then?), it is probably the
LD_RUN_PATH. Check the path it is looking for it at by using ldd on your
executable (e.g. ldd a.out). Let me know if you still are having problems,
I have some other ideas, but I need to get to the Sun I work on to check them
out. The suggestions about library ordering in your makefile will not likely
help in your case, since it is an error at run-time. Basically, what is
happening is that one of your dynamic libraries is not being found, and you
need to determine why.
I hope this helps.
