I know where it comes from, I forget the fix (which I chased down for
myself).  I'm not the maintainer for apsfilter (I don't understand how
come you picked me) but this is a problem caused by the "-lXExExt" that
shows up in the linking line, because the line should have read -lXext.
It was a bug with an older copy of XFree86's config files.

I'd have to have a login on your machine and a hour to root around in
your X11R6/lib/X11/config files ... or maybe you could tar those up and
send them to me.  Actually, what you OUGHT to do is to upgrade your
X11R6 to something more current ... I don't think this bug has been
current for about 18 months, so you have to be running a real old copy.
Upgrade it.  Really.  You'll just get hit with some other bug if you
don't.

The libgnumalloc is likewise a bug in the same place, but much more
easily located/fixed, but again, the real fix is upgrading.
