Configuration

[Robert N. Eaton]

Jon, it looks like you and Scott were right.

I'm using xandros 3.01, so I went to xandros networks and downloaded 
(with automatic install) C/C++ and Debian Development Tools.  Now I have 
both g++-3.3 and gcc-3.3 in my /usr/bin.

I was able to ./configure both gnuchess and xboard, but neither one 
wants to install. Running make on xboard I get:

bob at Pooh-at-Home:~/xboard-4.2.7$ make
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.  -I/usr/X11R6/include  -I/usr/X11R6/include 
-DINFODIR=\"/usr/local/share/info\" -c xboard.c
xboard.c:159:28: X11/Xaw/Dialog.h: No such file or directory

xboard.c:168:26: X11/Xaw/Text.h: No such file or directory
xboard.c:169:31: X11/Xaw/AsciiText.h: No such file or directory
xboard.c:693: error: `XtNdefaultDistance' undeclared here (not in a 
function)
xboard.c:693: error: initializer element is not constant
xboard.c:693: error: (near initialization for `layoutArgs[1].name')
xboard.c:693: error: initializer element is not constant................

Plus a lot of other error messages. Seems to be looking for something it 
can't find.

Do I have to install another version of X11?? (All I wanted to do was 
drain the pond, and here I am, up to my ass in alligators.)
