Hi,
 I just compiled X11R4 on a VAXstation 2000 with gcc 1.36 under Ultrix 2.2.
At first, everything seemed to work, but xterm gave me the "Not a typewriter"
error, so I remembered that someone else had mentioned this problem and
that the indicated solution was to run the fixincludes script from GNU CC.
I did so. To avoid a total recompile, I went through the ditribution tape and
tried to touch everything that included files that fixincludes had fooled
with. I then recompiled. Everything seems to work now (rather well, too),
except that I cannot get Tek mode in xterm (neither from the menu,
escape sequences (generated by MATLAB), or from a command line option).
WhenI try for Tek mode, I get a Bus Error (nothing more informative than that).
Has anyone else had this problem? Do I need to recompile the whole
distribution? Users around here need Tek Mode for MATLAB, so I've got to
fix it before I convert all the machines to R4.


Thanks,
Rob.
