Has anyone been able to sucessfully run either Spice 2 or 3 on NetBSD?

I compiled Spice 2G6 on my NetBSD system, and although it compiled 
without errors, when I actually tried to run some data through Spice it 
failed.  I tried both the small.inp and large.inp sample decks, and they 
both produced the same memory errors, such as this:

I was compiling Spice on a m68k Amiga system, if that matters.  
The source for for Spice 3f4 is also available, but I didn't try to 
compile that.  Maybe someone with the X libs could try it (Henric...are 
you out there??  :)
