[XForms] problems installing on solaris

[Ulrich Hiller]

Hello,
we want to install xforms 1.0 on sun sloaris 7 and solaris 9. 
It fails during the make procedure with the following error message:

I think the main error is the relocation error (which is propably the reason why 
 libflimage.so is not created). 

Thnaks in advance for your help.
