No confusion. I just go off what you write . . .

I still can't see a conflict.

You don't have to. The paths do that for you(if you set them properly).

nxagent is an X server, i.e. a client in normal speak. Clear ??

No, just the same one.
Forget your franken-install
Forget using the client libs for the server
Install the correct debian packages, (but don't ask me where
they are, I don't use it)
or
if you can't find any, it's easy enough to download and compile
the source.

At the risk of being boring, I'll explain how.

Move to a new a directory where you have wxr
Make sure your temp directory is x too

wget and untar the following:-

http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/sources/nxproxy-3.4.0-2.tar.gz
http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/sources/nxcomp-3.4.0-7.tar.gz
http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/sources/nxcompext-3.4.0-1.tar.gz
http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/sources/nxcompshad-3.4.0-3.tar.gz
http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/sources/nx-X11-3.4.0-4.tar.gz
http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/sources/nxauth-3.4.0-3.tar.gz
http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/sources/nxagent-3.4.0-16.tar.gz

That should give you the following subdirectories:-
nxcomp
nxcompext
nxcompshad
nxproxy
nx-X11

Check/install devel dependencies, including:-

freetype2-devel
libpng-devel
glibc-devel
libjpeg-devel
zlib-devel
xorg-x11-libXfixes-devel
xorg-x11-libXpm-devel
libstdc++44-devel
libstdc++-devel
and
you need the gcc c++ compiler

cd nx-X11
make World 
# note the W. Wait for ages whilst it compiles.
cd ..
cd nxproxy
./configure
make


If it all compiles OK, copy the results as root:-

nx-X11/lib/X11/libX11.so*
nx-X11/lib/Xext/libXext.so*
nx-X11/lib/Xrender/libXrender.so*
nxcompext/libXcompext.so*
nxcompshad/libXcompshad.so*
nxcomp/libXcomp.so*

 . . . to where your libraries go eg.
/usr/lib/NX/lib

and

nx-X11/programs/Xserver/nxagent
nx-X11/programs/nxauth/nxauth
nxproxy/nxproxy

 . .  to where your executables go eg.
/usr/lib/NX

You can strip nxagent and libX11.so.6.2 to
save a bit of memory.

Set that wrapper back to how it was
and
put it in /usr/bin
make it chown root and chmod rx for all.

Clean up all the stuff you copied etc

Say thank-you to those nice clever Italians.
