The problem you are having is due to the fact that you are linking
against the VAX motif libraries (/mit/motif/vaxlib) when compiling on
a DECstation 3100, which is a different architecture. You should be
linking against /mit/motif/decmipslib.
Note, furthermore, that object (.o) files and programs compiled on a
DECstation cannot be used on a VAX workstation, and vice versa.
It is usually a good idea to check with the Athena consultants, by
calling x3-4435, stopping by the consulting office (11-115), or using
olc, before sending in a bug report. They can usually help you figure
out whether or not the problem you are experiencing is actually a bug,
and if not, how to solve it. In this case, they would have pointed
out that you were linking against the wrong libraries.
