There is another way to compile dx under debian

1. Make sure that you have line like
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main
in /etc/apt/sources.list

2. deinstall any lesstiff-dev packages and install libmotif-dev

3. Then change working directory to some appropriate one for source code of
dx and execute the command
apt-get source dx
You get dx-sources with *patches* for debian

4. cd into dx-4.3.2 and run 
debuild binary

5. Now you can install new deb-packages into the system.
