I have 91.4 running on a sun4/260 running sunos4.1.1, no problem, no
special work done.

I can do that, but i'll have to keep doing that everytime a new version
comes out.  Not only that, but the binaries have the libdirectories 
hardwired into them.  Let's see if i can help you compile.

Humm.  I'm using X11R6 and xdm/twm.  I never had any problem with X11R5 though.

2.5.8 here, or maybe 2.6.0

Wow.  I give it -O and -g and it works fine.  Humm.

Sheesh!  Can you give a description of any output it gave at all???

If that's the output, I don't know what's wrong.  I suggest running it
under gdb and seeing where it barfs.  I can get you a binary, but it'll
be something of a hassle for you to get it to use the proper libdir,
etc.  See what you can find out about the problem with gdb....
