If you're trying to build the X11 document I put on expo a few days ago
you may run into a problem such as:

     rm -f sec2.t
     sed -e 's;%BINDIR%;/usr/bin/X11;g' -e 's;%LIBDIR%;/usr/lib/X11;g'\
     sec2.pic > sec2.tmp
     sed: Extra text at end of command: s;%LIBDIR%;/usr/lib/X11;gsec2.pic
     *** Error code 2
     make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `sec2.t'

This particularly seems to happen with Sun's version of "make".  The
problem is that Sun's version of make handles backslashes differently
than the version of make I was usually using (Sequent's) - it doesn't
insert any whitespace.  So I never noticed the problem, not using the
Sun...

Anyway, to fix the problem, edit "Imake.rules" and change line 41 from

	$(SED) -e 's;%BINDIR%;$(BINDIR);g' -e 's;%LIBDIR%;$(LIBDIR);g'\	@@\

to

	$(SED) -e 's;%BINDIR%;$(BINDIR);g' -e 's;%LIBDIR%;$(LIBDIR);g' \ @@\
								      |
							insert a space here

and then re-run "make Makefile", and everything should be fine.

I have fixed the "Imake.rules" in the distribution and placed a new
copy of it in the contrib directory on expo.  The version which will
be coming in comp.sources.x should already have it fixed, since Dan
Heller (the moderator) discovered this problem (thanks, Dan!).

My apologies for not catching this earlier.
