Installing XLT

Harold,

Thank you for asking for details about my saga.

Here goes:

I have XLT-9.2.9.tar in directory /tmp/xlt.

I un-tar it and run "configure" from /tmp/xlt/xlt-9.2.9.

The file config.log is attached. It shows that the 
error occurs when "checking for X.."

Here is the line of the configure file which puts 
"checking for X.." into config.log file:

	echo "configure:2036: checking for X" >&5

The error occurs after the above line.

The error message is:

	eval: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

My suspicion is that the configure script cannot find the X
include files and libraries, so I added the following options:

	--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include/X11
	--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/lib

An "ls" of /usr/X11R6/include/X11 is in attached file lsinc.txt.

An "ls" /usr/X11R6/lib is in attached file lslib.txt

These options may not be correct, but the configure
script executes without errors when I use them.

These paths are just guesses on my part. Do they look right to you?

When I try "make", I receive an error:

	MAKE Version 5.2  Copyright (c) 1987, 1999 Inprise Corp.
	Error makefile 455: Colon expected
	*** 1 errors during make ***

(Is Borland "make.exe" adequate? I have several Borland IDEs installed
and Borland's MAKE is found first. Should I use a different make
program?)

Here is the last line (number 445?) of makefile:
 
	.NOEXPORT:

Makefile is attached as Makefile.txt.

...
 
This should bring you up to date with my progress. 

I don't know where to go from here.

Have I used the right paths to include and lib directories?

Will Borland's make.exe 5.2 work?

Thank your for your help.

Gary Nicholson
