David,

        That seems to be the source of all my problems.  I had been compiling 
from within a zshell, and I decided to switch and use csh and set up my 
~/.cshrc to have nothing in it other than source /sw/bin/init.csh.  
windowmaker compiled just fine once I did this.  Thanks a ton for your 
help!

Regards,
Paul
