Dann,

Thanks for thinking of me!  Yes I was looking for something along these
lines.  So far haven't got it to compile, probably because I don't
really know how to do it.

I gunzipped and (un)tarred the files in a directory under my home
directory -- /home/dad/xcb, which put the files in a subdirectory:
xcb-2.3i.

I intended to try:

./configure
make
make install

./configure died with "no such file or directory".  (Other errors on
make and make install.)

Then I skipped the ./configure and tried "make -f makefile.std".

It prints out one line, then dies with "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find lXaw".

I suspect this is telling me it can't find required libraries (there are
more on the line, I suspect it won't find any of them).

I did a locate on Xaw and found some .so files in /usr/X11R6/lib/ and a
bunch of header files in /usr/X11R6/include/Xll/Xaw/, so what must I do
now?
