I believe I see the issue. It has to do with the fact that the configure
script only looks for the static Xt library, when you probably only have
the shared lib. To clarify -- the configure script *does* look in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -- just not for the shared objects. I've
attached a patch that should fix your issue (please let me know if it does).

You can apply the patch using patch_amber.py from $AMBERHOME:

cd $AMBERHOME
./patch_amber.py --apply configure.patch

Ubuntu is easier to install and deploy than most other distros (especially
Debian), so addressing Ubuntu directly reaches more people. It's one of
the sacrifices we have to make to avoid using Ubuntu (and the horrible
Unity).
