I'm trying to compile InterViews 2.6 on a Sun 3 with X11R4.  I've successfully
compiled (with g++) everything except the X-specific files.  The compiler
complains about the file iv/src/InterViews/X11/Xlib.h, which includes the
real Xlib.h and supposedly renames the functions delcared therein before
declaring its own versions with different parameters.  This doesn't work.
Two symptoms of the failure problem are: (1) not all of the functions defined
in the real Xlib.h are renamed via #defines before they are redeclared in
the InterViews Xlib.h, and (2) the real Xlib.h doesn't specify 'void' where
it ought to.

Can someone who has successfully built InterViews in a similar environment
please mail or post an explanation of the stupid and obvious mistake I
must be making?  Thanks in advance for your help.
