- I built X11R5, patch level 19, in a non-standard directory on a
- SPARCstation 2 running SunOS 4.1.3. I was not already running X11R4.
- One thing I did have to do was to drop out of OpenWindows because
- this had set up some paths that confused things horribly.
- According to my notes, the only thing relevant to paths that I did
- was edit file "site.def" to specify "ProjectRoot" appropriately.
- Is it possible that your existing X11R4 executables/libraries/includes
- are being used by the X11R5 make? Just a thought. Let me know if
- you need other details.
