Even if it's obvious that Xaw3d is missing when `configure' says
something about "-lXaw3d", the name of the Ubuntu package that one
needs to download is quite clearly NOT obvious.

Now, if `configure' would say something like

  Xaw3d library not found, suggest to download xaw3dg-dev package

_then_ it would have been obvious.

Can we please look at this from the OP's point of view, instead of
demonstrating how much smarter we-all are?  That way, we might
actually learn how to improve Emacs, in addition to being nice and
helpful.
