Ok, I built with lucid and Xaw3d now is loaded ok. I also loaded imagemagick-devel.

So this bug report can be closed now.

And as general question, "yum list available" doesn't show any -devel rpm's. Is there another command that shows them?

thanks

(Why are you using .el6 packages on rhel7?
Xaw3d is in epel7.)

Anyway, I see that Emacs's configure (basically) only uses Xaw3d with the
Lucid toolkit. Ie you'll have to use --with-x-toolkit=lucid if you want Xaw3d.

ImageMagick-devel is in the standard yum repo for me, so no hassle.

I can assure you it has never been possible to compile eg ImageMagick
support without the header files that the development package provides.
