Obviously you need libforms.a and/or libforms.so, depending upon
whether you want to link the static or dynamic version. You will also
need libXpm.a and/or libXpm.so. The standard installation Makefile
should handle installing these in the right place, along with the
header file. Just do

you> /bin/sh
Passwd:
# make install

and it should do the right thing.

Other libraries needed will obviously depend upon your application.
You'll most certainly need X11 and the math library. Here is a sample
command line for linking an application:

cc -o my_app -L/usr/openwin/lib my_app.o my_app_form.o \
-lforms -lXpm -lX11 -lm

If you are having a problem, could you please be more specific? Error
messages or other output, along with whatever you typed, would be of
immense help.
