Mark,
-lXt  is an X library, generally found in the same directory as libX11.a.
On many systems this is under /usr/lib/, but on LInux, it may be under
/usr/X11R6/lib. 

The Makeinc.$(NA_OS) file uses the XWLIBDIR and XWLIBS settings to
define search paths with -Lpath for the X libraries.

If your system does not have The Xt library, you will need it. It is part
of the standard X11 system.
