Description
Hi,
after upgrading to El Capitan recently, I got this error in a previously working DDD setup, after upgrading a few X11 ports:
Warning: No type converter registered for 'String' to 'Orientation' conversion. Warning: No type converter registered for 'String' to 'Orientation' conversion. Warning: No type converter registered for 'String' to 'Orientation' conversion. Error: Unresolved inheritance operation
Xt error (Unresolved inheritance operation).

I searched through trac.macports.org and found out this error was last detected in 2009 on OS X Tiger. Previously I was running Snow Leopard and I didn't have any problems there.
A little research showed that the culprit for this error most likely is xorg-libXaw, because that after upgrading that port, DDD would not execute properly anymore.
However, I am no expert in X11 so I could not find out exactly what dependency was missing. The DDD code itself is archaic, but the program is very useful - I use it as a GUI frontend to arm-none-eabi-gdb for embedded software development.
I can confirm that DDD3.3.12 works on other X11 platforms without a problem (FreeBSD 10.2 and CentOS Linux).
