Thanks for all who responded. Most told me where to find XPM, which is
available at ftp.x.org. I pulled it down, but had some trouble building it
at first. I had to toy with the Imakefile so it wouldn't try to build the
shared library. Then I had to change the resulting Makefile so it would:
1) Specify gcc instead of cc (obviously).
2) Use /usr/ucb/install instead of /usr/sbin/install. (Most people do not place
ucb ahead of sbin in their PATH).
3) Strip out non-gnu options (like -xF) from the gcc statement.
The static library built and installed OK after these changes.
Salvatore Saieva <merccap!saieva@uunet.uu.net> also mentioned that xpm
updates are announced on the comp.windows.x newsgroup, and the xpm-talk list.
I was also missing the Motif RunTime Kit available in the Solaris 2.4 cdrom as
SUNmfrun. With these two packages properly installed xscreensaver built fine.
