Dear Omid Sadeghi, dear Forum, You must compile xgap as a 32-bit program. On a 32-bit Ubuntu install the following packages: libxaw7-dev libxmu-dev libxt-dev libxext-dev libx11-dev libsm-dev libice-dev libxpm-dev Then a standard ./configure make inside the pkg/xgap directory should compile xgap. On a 64-bit Linux you somehow have to make sure that the libraries and header files mentioned above are available as 32-bit versions. I don't know a simple way to achieve this.
