[comp.windows.x] sample program Xtoolkit library ?? help!

ISADER@HHEOUH50.BITNET (DERK EDERVEEN <ISADER@HHEOUH51>) (02/17/89)

I'm a novice X-windows application programmer, and just started my way
through the X toolkit library. In the sample program provided in 4.5.3.
the static declaration doesn't get through the compiler:

            static Arg arglist = {
                {XtNfunction, (XtArgVal) quit},
                {XtNname,    (XtArgVal) "quit"},                <------
                };
 with
        void quit()
        {
             exit();
        }

returns the error:

        compiler error: initialization alignment error

for the line marked with <------ .

        I must be very stupid, but I really don't understand this
and all attempts to correct it failed. I'm using the MIT's X 10.4
on and IBM RT PC running AIX 2.2. This is an IBM-specific X-Windows
implementation which differs on some minor points. Something that
may be important is the fact that an int occupies 32 bits in IBM RT PC C.

        I know that this is an old version, but we will upgrade to
X11 in some time and in the meantime I want to practice.
Please help me out of this problem. If someone has documentation on
the errors in the X toolkit libraries or RT PC AIX 2.2 modifications
to X this would be very much appreciated. I cannot use ftp.
Please respond directly to me also because my mail-feed is suffering
at the moment.
                Thanks in advance,
                                                                Derk.
