You should have posted a transcript of your compile session or atleast
what errors you were getting. I have compiled xgif just fine using AIX
2.2.1/RT and can send you the binaries if you'd like in uuencoded
form; however, xgif has been made largely obsolete by the xloadimage
program now in the contrib section of the X11R4 distribution.
xloadimage compiles/works fine with X11R3, as well. I am posting
rather than mailing this because our newsfeed seems a whole heck of a
lot more reliable than our mailer, and to make the suggestion that
everyone switches to xloadimage.
