Are you sure you followed the instructions in the INSTALL file?  Here is a
repeat of what seems to be the correct part for you.  Note step 2.

	--Tim

** SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x) ***************************
On SunOS 4.1.3 with OpenWindows, you need to do the following:

1) Edit the Imakefile to add -Dsun to the DEFINES and (if necessary)
to uncomment the XMULIB line (delete the # at the front of the line):

         DEFINES = -DHAS_GETTIMEOFDAY -Dsun
...

# If you get the following linker error messages on SunOS, you have
# hit a known bug in the SunOS linker (ld).
#	ld: Undefined symbol 
#	  _get_wmShellWidgetClass 
#	  _get_applicationShellWidgetClass 
# To work around it,  try uncommenting this if you are using Sun's C compiler:
         XMULIB = -Bstatic -lXmu -Bdynamic
# ... or this if you are using gcc:
#        XMULIB = -static -lXmu -dynamic
# Ask Sun for patches 100512-02 and 100573-03 to get the real fix.

2) The xmkmf in at least some versions of OpenWindows is broken.
Instead of running xmkmf, try this:

  /usr/openwin/bin/imake -DStandardIncludes=-I/usr/openwin/include \
	-DUseInstalled -I/usr/openwin/lib/config \
	-DDefaultCCOptions=-L/usr/openwin/lib

Without this, the Makefile will not know about the include files and
libraries in /usr/openwin.

Thanks to Ed Hanway for some of this information, and thanks to Jim
Daly for letting me log onto his machine and figure out the rest of it
myself.

I currently don't know how to make xboard run on SunOs 4.1.3 with
Motif (as opposed to OpenWindows).  Contact me if you can help. On SunOS 4.1.3
