windowmaker

[j g b <jbirds ibm net>]

i obtained and unpacked the WindowMaker package. following the
installation guide closely,
i've been unable to build this package.

after running ./configure whose output was:

Window Maker was configured as follows:

Installation path prefix: /usr/local
Installation path prefix for binaries: /usr/local
Installation path for WPrefs.app: /usr/local/GNUstep/Apps/WPrefs.app
Graphic format libraries:  PNG JPEG GIF PPM (built-in)
Sound support: yes
Translated message files to install: none

it looked good to me up to here but make crashed:

the XFree86 libraries are installed (v. 3.3.2.3-18) as well as the gcc
suite. i looked at
the Makefile in the /wrlib dir and it  seems to be looking for the X11
library. the directory
where these files are located is /usr/X11R6/lib/ so i decided to fiddle
with the Makefile
by specifying this path and also variations of it. unfortunately, i've
been unsuccessful. any ideas?
