As I pointed out in the next few lines this is completely in error.

No.  You set up your env.source incorrectly.  I keep telling you that
LDFLAGS must contain -L and -R entries for each library directory and you
did not even bother with -R/usr/openwin/lib in your env.source file.

Right, but you need to use setenv, which is the csh equivalent to
ksh,bash,zsh export.

Just remove config.cache and config.status if you have a clean source
tree.

That is because libtiff, libjpeg, etc were not found.

It will not build correctly.
