This isn't a compile problem, it's a run-time problem.  The resource file
for Freeciv's Xaw client contains a version string, which must match the
version of the compiled executable.  This file is generally called Freeciv.
 The "fallback" resource file is in the data subdirectory.

So, first make sure any files with "Freeciv" in the name have been removed
from /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults.  Then, look near the top of data/Freeciv
for a resource named "Freeciv*version".  It should be "1.11.5-devel"
(matching the version reported by the error message as the "Game version").
