First check if the library is there:
find /usr/X11R6/lib -name 'libXaw.so*' -print
Then check the /etc/ld.so.conf file, at least one directory of the
above listing should be mentioned here. For example, I get the
directories .../Xaw3d, .../Xaw95, .../neXtaw, and ... where ... stands
for /usr/X11R6/lib respectively. My /etc/ld.so.conf contains:
/usr/X11R6/lib/neXtaw
/usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw95
/usr/lib/libc5-compat
/lib/libc5-compat
/usr/local/kde/lib
/usr/local/qt/lib
/usr/local/glide/lib
which means that the neXtaw version of libXaw will be prefered. If
none of the above directories is there, add them. If no library could
be found your xlib6 package is not correctly installed.
BTW: After adding directories to /etc/ld.so.conf run ldconfig.
