On FreeBSD-5.0 with ssh forwarding, DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 - works ok.
Because gnu make is not the default on the BSD's, I changed toplevel
Makefile:

all:
        cd lib; $(MAKE)
        cd unixdom-0.1/src; $(MAKE)
        cd widgets; $(MAKE)

clean:
        cd lib; $(MAKE) clean
        cd widgets; $(MAKE) clean
        cd unixdom-0.1/src; $(MAKE) clean

Also paths for include and lib for jpeg lib had to be frobbed.



On i386 Solaris 9 with ssh forwarding, no joy. It sat there for a
couple minutes with no display. I was about to kill it when it cored.

No startup_error_report was written. Note DISPLAY is xyzzy.vail:11.0,
i.e. fqdn:display.screen.

There was more minor config stuff for the makefiles on this system -
utils are in /usr/pkg, not /usr/local, not /opt/sfw. gcc is not in
PATH, etc.


Thanks.
