I installed Linux (and Icon v9) recently and with Clint Jeffery's help
(he's the jeffery in the path) re-compiled it for my machine with
X-Windows support. It's worth the effort. You must modify the make file
in the runtime src directory to point to:
XLIB=-L/usr/X11/lib -L/usr/include/X11/ -lX11
instead of what is supplied in the tar file. (At least that's what I
remember. If that doesn't work, I can just email you all my make files...).
It's a lot of programming bang for the buck when you finally get it
running...
