I've seen a similar problem getting xco (kinda like xcolors but better) to
work here at work under AIX.  I have a feeling that it's because xco was
developed for X11R5 whereas my server (and libraries) are X11R6 (more or
less).  Perhaps there was a change from R5 to R6 in the way that getting a
color map was done?

Later.
