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.
Best regards,
Frank Lübeck
