Yes there was a missing space in the script which generated 
amaya-lib-src-9.3.tgz ("libwww/config/depcomp\" instead of 
"libwww/config/depcomp \").
This problem is now fixed.

A solution was suggested to launch amaya this way:
"export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 amaya"

I don't know if we can force these options in the Amaya code.
