Numbers 1-4 are because you no longer have the X sources around or the
configuration files.  If you plan on compiling _anything_ that you
find on the net, you have better get the config files (with imake,
imake templates, etc) and should have the sources.

This may be a version incompatibility (anyone know if OpenWindows
1.0.1 is R3 or R4???)


You should try to get a hold of the real sources (if ftp is not
possible, try tape of floppy for the SPARC), at least the
X11R4/{config,lib,util,and include} dirs.  If the isn't a ftp site
with the sources unpacked, send me mail.

You should check the OpenWindows docs though, I can't believe that
they would be so stupid as not to include bdftosnf or mkfontdir, what
do they expect you to use for adding fonts???
