Well, I solved my problems by doing several things.. The
first of which was editing the Xlib.h headers (and some
others), basically adding some int declarations.  For
someone who doesn't know c++, I think I did a wonderful job.
Thanks for that recommendation.

I was having a problem configuring some of the test programs
in configure, and I basically solved it by adding the
following line:

*** blackbox-0.60.3/configure   Thu May 25 13:49:14 2000
 --- ../blackbox-0.60.3/configure       Fri Jun  9 11:00:19 2000
***************
*** 1238,1243 ****
--- 1238,1244 ----
  #line 1239 "configure"
  #include "confdefs.h"
  #include <$ac_hdr>
+ int main(){return(0);}
  EOF
  ac_try="$ac_cpp conftest.$ac_ext >/dev/null 2>conftest.out"
  { (eval echo configure:1244: \"$ac_try\") 1>&5; (eval $ac_try) 2>&5; }

It seems my gcc (on SunOS) wasn't doing a good job of
compiling programs which had no content.  Adding this line
works, and now I'm blackbox happy again!  

Is this a autoconf problem, or is this something that could
be added?  I had more or less the same problem configuring a
few of the bbtools, too.  Is anything lost by adding this
line to _all_ of the test programs?

Soon, everyone at work will be jealous.  Maybe I can convert
the entire ICDA industry to blackbox away from (shudder)
CDE.

Thanks again forthe help, y'all!  I'm still having a few
problems, but they are small.
