Hi folks:

I heard about xtrek from a friend of mine, found it using gopher, downloaded it,
modified the make files, and tried to compile it. I get the following error:

	make install
install -c    xtrekd /home/vanguard/games/bin
install -c    xtrek /home/vanguard/games/bin
install xtrek.snf /home/vanguard/games/fonts/x11
install: xtrek.snf: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install'

I do not know what I am doing wrong. Apparently, xtrek.snf is some kind of
font file, but I don't know why it isn't being created.  Would someone be
willing to take a look at my Imakefile, etc. to try to spot the error?

Further, I tried using a dummy file for xtrek.snf, which got me past that 
point in the compile, then tried entering the font
information in my .Xdefaults file as shown in the README file. Now, xtrekd 
seems to start up fine, but xtrek gives the following error:

	xtrek midnight
Display: midnight:0.0 Login: vanguard Name: vanguard
Adding player 0 on `midnight:0.0'.
Not all fonts available on midnight:0.0.

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operati
on)
  Major opcode of failed request:  51 (X_SetFontPath)
  Value in failed request:  0x4
  Serial number of failed request:  4
  Current serial number in output stream:  6


Warning: I am not the system administrator, just a user. I was just setting 
up xtrek in my directory. If there's something that requires root permission,
that could explain the error.

Thank you for your time.
