Actually, I now see the problem.  In an earlier set of changes you removed
all dependencies for the installed drivers and that messed up the use of $<
later on in the rule so, e.g., xwin.o wasn't being put into xwin_drv.so
(which caused something of a problem...;-)) I have just reinstated the first
dependency shared/xwin$O, etc., for each of the drivers in CVS, and now
./x01c -dev xwin, -dev tkwin, and -dev tk works fine for the installed
drivers (so long as your PATH points to $prefix/bin).

In general, I would like to keep dependencies in, if it doesn't mess up the
RH version of make.  Maurice, I don't think it was these first dependencies
that were giving you trouble with RH make. However, please test this out,
and if you are still having trouble we can do it without the dependency by
replacing $< in the rule by the appropriate value.

I haven't done any deep testing, yet, but I believe the installed version
should now be good to go.
