Install the plotutils package in an unmaintained Ubuntu version

Ubuntu9.04 in the machine is no longer officially maintained. The software warehouse for this version has expired. In order to install new software from the warehouse, you need to change it to the maintained version, this means that the system is reinstalled, and a large number of software installed and configured have to be reinstalled, which is too time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, you have to stop installing software from the repository, and everything starts from the source code. The tool in plotutils can easily draw a graph. This software is available in ubuntu storage, but it is not maintained because of Ubuntu9.04.

You only need to copy the include/X11/Xaw content in the decompressed folder to/usr/include/X11/xaw. then, go back to the decompressed directory of plotutils-2.6.tar.gz and execute make, the header file Lablel is not displayed. h, but another error occurs:
