2.7b5 is the version I have, but I screwed up.  I read the INSTALL 
document.  It lists the first thing to do as edit the makefile, and later 
says, "In the near future we intend to implement autoconf (GNU) which 
should solve _everyone's_ problems."  I guess the future is nearer than 
they knew, because last night I noticed all the config files in the src 
directory and just for fun typed ./configure.  Hey, what d'ya know, it 
works.  Guess its a bug in the documentation?

Well, when I compiled lesstif, it put a number of its files in 
/usr/local/include.  For some reason I haven't been able to figure out, 
they weren't found during my original non-configure-using attempt at 
compiling Mosaic.  So far running configure I haven't had that problem 
(but it is still early :-)  Right now I am at the poit where configure 
noticed I ddin't have the jpeg files.  I hope to install those files and 
the z and png files tonight and try again.  I am hoping that using 
configure and not just the makefile, the location of the lesstif files 
won't be an issue.

Well, I had to edit /etc/ld.so.conf to get X to work (as per the FAQ).  
When I added /usr/X11R6/include it was the first entry.  I have now added 
/usr/lib, /usr/include, /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib to 
/etc/ld.so.conf.  I know there is a security issue with library files 
(which, even after reading man ld.so.conf I am not completely clear on), 
but other than that, is there another issue?  Can it screw something up?

Cheers,

Sean.
