Friends

While doing a compile of Emacs-21.3, the build process ended with the 
following error:

===>   emacs-21.3_3 depends on executable: gmake - found
===>   emacs-21.3_3 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/autoconf213 - found
===>   emacs-21.3_3 depends on shared library: Xaw3d.8 - not found
===>    Verifying install for Xaw3d.8 in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/Xaw3d
===>   Returning to build of emacs-21.3_3
Error: shared library "Xaw3d.8" does not exist
*** Error code 1

This has also happened to me while trying to compile Xfig & 
Plugger-Plugins-Hubbe.
The Zaw3d libraries are installed and a file shows a number of 
references to *xaw3d* but not to "Xaw3d.8"
For example:

/usr/ports/distfiles/Xaw3d-1.5.tar.gz
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so.7
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.a
/usr/X11R6/share/doc/Xaw3d
/var/db/pkg/Xaw3d-1.5

I can't find any references to this problem in the archives or the web.

Does anyone have any ideas? If I installed Xfig & Emacs as a package 
over FTP, would that process interfere with my existing libraries?
