    # To subscribers of the xforms list from "Rouben Rostamian" <rostamian@umbc.edu> :

    Steve, thanks for pushing on with xforms. Keep on truckin'!

    Here are my initial observation on xforms-1.0RC as compiled
    on a Linux box.

    1.
    The package compiles cleanly. No problem.
    However "make install" has a problem. It puts libforms.a
    in /usr/X11R6/lib instead of /usr/local/lib. It appears that
    this is due to the line:

       #USRLIBDIR = XFormsInstallDir/lib

    in ./lib/Imakefile. Why is it commented out?

    2.
    In 00README we read:

        Some of the demos won't compile without the xpm library. You can get
        it from ftp://avahi.inria.fr/pub/xpm or ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib. It
        is no longer included in the distribution.

    It appears that "Some of the demos" should be changed to "No demos".
    Here is a test:

    % cat test.c

    #include <X11/forms.h>

    int main(void)
    {
            return 0;
    }

    % cc test.c -lforms -lX11 -lm
    /usr/local/lib/libforms.so: undefined reference to `XpmCreatePixmapFromData'
    /usr/local/lib/libforms.so: undefined reference to `XpmFreeAttributes'
    /usr/local/lib/libforms.so: undefined reference to `XpmAttributesSize'
    /usr/local/lib/libforms.so: undefined reference to `XpmReadFileToPixmap'
    /usr/local/lib/libforms.so: undefined reference to `XpmLibraryVersion'
