For grins I tried pulling down the distribution for XR4 off of
expo.lcs.mit.edu and tried compiling it on my RT running AIX 2.2.
I did my best to customize the config files for my system, but
after several tries, I still don't have anything that I am
confident of.

Has anyone out there in netland successfully installed XR4 on their RT?

Here are some obvious problems I have run into:

1.  ERRATA.Jan19 says that the server won't work on an RT running AIX 2.2
    Has anyone been able to fix this?

2.   Most of the clients I start up come back with the message:
Warning: Cannot convert string "*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*" to ty
pe FontStruct
Error: Unable to load any useable ISO8859-1 font

	I have installed all the fonts in the distribution.  Do I need to be
	running the server before using these clients?

3.  What are the proper ways to set up the config files for painless compilation?


Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
