*blink*  Lives there a system without XPM installed still?

Go thou to http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/solaris/sparc and download xpm3.4h.  It 
is virtually impossible to build *any* modern X11 application with reasonably 
complete functionality if one doesn't have XPM.

(Why, oh why, hasn't Sun started shipping it?)

Same problem as above.  (XPM = XPixMap... the server has pixmap support, but 
without the XPM library userspace support is limited to XImage and drawing 
into pixmaps as if they were windows.)
