Sorry to say, XView is (and always has been) completely broken on
amd64 and other LP64 architectures.  Fixing this is something that is
not likely to happen in the forseeable future.

IIRC, olwm and olvwm (the window managers themselves) do actually work
on amd64 because they don't use the xview library, but olwmslave
*does* use xview so it doesn't work.

I would recommend that you simply use the i386 packages, and I would
recommend that amd64 and other LP64 archs be dropped from the Debian
packages completely.

I see that you already have i386 enabled, but for anybody else reading
this, here's how to enable it and install 32-bit olwm and olvwm (on
unstable):

    dpkg --add-architecture i386
    apt-get update
    apt-get install olwm:i386 olvwm:i386
