Not `libX', but `libXm'.  Quite something different.  libXm is the
Motif library, that's payware.  You either need to rebuild these
programs without Motif (if possible), or gotta get a Motif license.

(The clients on FreeBSD CD-ROMs that have been shipping linked against
Motif were rather accidents.)
