This is almost certainly an Xaw variant problem.

Thats not an error, that just means it didn't look like Xpm was
hiding in /usr/local where it sometimes is found. 

Since you say the server is ok, and above the client runs 
with --version, I'm guessing that configure finished ok, and make 
compiled the client ok, and you still got the above Segmentation fault.  

In that case you likely have a version of Xaw which is not plain Xaw, 
but rather Xaw3d or something else.  (Read carefully the INSTALL file 
in the freeciv distribution.)  If what you have is Xaw3d, then using 

  ./configure --with-xaw3d

will probably fix your problem.  If I guessed wrong, then more 
information is required.
