I've been trying to build an number of X applications obtained from the net on an RS/6000 running AIX "Golden Code." Though many have compiled without a hitch, I've run into several problems: 1) The directories and files don't seem to be where they're expected to be. Many files are buried under /usr/lpp/X11/Xamples. Is this normal? The Makefiles, Imakefiles, and #include statements in many contributed applications don't seem to think so. This problem, at least, can be fixed with elbow grease. 2) I cannot find a number of symbols (eg, XawTextEditType, XawtextRead, XawtextWrapNever) and include files (eg, SimpleMenu.h, SmeLine.h, and SmeBSB.h from the Xaw library) from the Athena widgets set. I have used nm, grep, and find to scan the system for these missing entities -- both in places they should be, and as a last resort, in all the places they should not be. Can anyone suggest where these include files and symbols might be found? Or, can't they be found because they belong to X11R4, some library IBM does not provide, or somesuch? Am I missing something?

No not normal (same as with IBM's X11 distribution with AIX 2.2.1/RT,
so some of us are used to it), but with enough -I directives for the c
compiler, you should be able to eliminate much of the handtooling...
You should be able to create a custom imake template to take care of
this.

They belong to X11R4 which IBM doesn't ship, but the MIT distribution
compiles without much fuss... Personally I have all of the X11R4 stuff
installed under /mit just like everyone else to save the config file
customization...
