Well, I had no problems at all configuring and running Elm on my SGI Iris under
4.0.5.  Now, I didn't try the docs, so I cannot comment.

The biggie for SGI is to say Elm is a non ansi application, so you need to 
list -cckr as an additional compilation flag.  I took all the defaults from configure
and it ran just fine.
