Hello motif users developers fellows suffering system admins: :D

I am trying to install openmotif in an Itanium 1 runnig debian 3.02 woody and once I try to make it throws me bacck this error it seems like an Xwindows configuration error. something to do with variables arguments in fil;e Xmos.c:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../include -I.. -I./.. -DXMBINDDIR_FALLBACK=\"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/bindings\" -DINCDIR=\"/usr/X11R6/include/X11\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11\" -I/usr/X11R6/include -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -Wno-comment -c Xmos.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/Xmos.lo

Xmos.c:1033:48: macro "_XGetpwnam" requires 3 arguments, but only 2 given
Xmos.c:1037:50: macro "_XGetpwuid" requires 3 arguments, but only 2 given
make[2]: *** [Xmos.lo] Error 1

I used the normal ./configure , bellow I attach the config.cahe file. Those numbers are the line numbers in Vim editor.
