I'd suspect not---unless you *want* to link mred statically.  Since libXaw
is used by lots of other apps on the system, I wouldn't recommend it in
general.  You'll want the shared-library version.

I don't have access to either a RedHat or a Mandrake machine, or I'd tell
you which package contains the necessary library.  In Debian 2.2r4, though,
it's grouped with the other X client libraries (xlib6g).
