The "quick hack" we did the other day was to link on our system
with `-Bstatic' .. that gets the program to *work* but screws up
the niceties of having shared libraries..  (SIGH!)

Quoting from /usr/openwin/include/X11/IntrinsicP.h

	#ident  "@(#)IntrinsicP.h       1.2 SMI"
	/*
	* $XConsortium: IntrinsicP.h,v 1.46 89/12/12 20:07:10 swick Exp $
	* $oHeader: IntrinsicP.h,v 1.4 88/08/26 14:49:52 asente Exp $
	*/
	...
	#define XT_VERSION 11
	#define XT_REVISION 3
	#define XtVersion (XT_VERSION * 1000 + XT_REVISION)

(SIGH!)

Didn't work for me:

	| 3 - ra:david --> setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/openwin/lib:/usr/lib/X11
	| 4 - ra:david -->  /usr/openwin/bin/svenv -env
	svenv: can't get SunView environment information

(`ra' is a Sun 4/490 with 4.1.1)
(All hail the Sun God!  He's a mighty Fun God! Ra! Ra! Ra!)
