What version of Mosaic do you have?  The version I have doesn't use 
configure, so I am really interested to find a version that does.  I 
thought I have the latest version, but it only says they plan in th 
future to incorporate configure support.

I got the /usr/include/errno.h message, but that was only after it 
couldn't find a number of the shared libraries.  I was editing header 
files for a while, but figured that is not the way this is supposed to 
go.  I added /usr/local/include to my ld.so.conf file and rebooted.  It 
still couldn't find the includes.  So, I am re-compiling lesstif with 
some options I didn't add last time, and I am going to take a closer look 
at where the install makefile plans on putting things.

Thanks for the tips,

Sean.
