The header files in one of these programs are as follows:

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h> 
#include <math.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdint.h>

I added the last two after your suggestion; they don't make any
difference.  I don't have any clue why this long-standing program, which
was developed on Solaris and ported to Linux and FreeBSD, has suddenly
started to give me problems. The Imakefile is as follows, and gives no
clue about what might be missing.

SYS_LIBRARIES= -lXmu -lXaw  -lXt -lX11 -lm -lXi
SRCS = lst.c
OBJS = lst.o

ComplexProgramTarget (lst)
