I would like to get xboard working on a DECstation 5000 runing Ultrix,
but am having trouble compiling it. The makefile says:

 CAVEATS

 XBoard depends on the R4 Xt Intrinsics and R4 Athena Widget Set.  In
 particular, R3 just won't do---XBoard uses features introduced in R4.  The
 standard DEC and SUN releases won't do either.  The Athena widgets are either
 missing in the DEC standard distribution or in the wrong (R3) place in SUN
 OpenWindows.

I'm no X wizard. - does this mean there is no way of getting it to run
on my machine aside from getting a new version of the X software? If so
has anyone modified it to run with the standard X stuff that comes with
a DECstation.

Email to mjk@cosmic.physics.utah.edu will be fine. Thanks.
