Hmm, I compiled 2.043 on a solaris 2.4 machine without hickups. Only a
two single warnings about const being removed/ignored or sth. like this.
SunOS went fine as well.

Oops, what xmp? you ment xpm? :-)

Wow, not bad :-) Well, I happen to have such a machine available as well
and I tried to compile fvwm on it as well for speed reasons :-) I tried
xmkmf -a
make
but I got lots of errors during the compile. Then I tried the following:
rsh Solaris-2.4 xmkmf -a
make
and things went great. Lesson learned: The imake stuff isn't properly
set up on our Solaris-2.5 Ultra machine. Compiling an already configured
source tree works fine. I recommend to test the stuff at your site as
well :-)

Hmm, then this will definitely not work. Try configuring on a host where
the imake stuff is setup properly. You can still compile on the
Ultra-machine of the libs and the include files are at the right places,
i.e. at the same place which is configured on the machine you run the
xmkmf on.
You have two other ways out:
configure the imake stuff properly, which is not that difficult, but
takes a lot of time.
compile it on another solaris machine and just install the stuff on the
ultra machine.
