Well, I immediately hit a road block.  My RedHat 6.1 system,
is, well, 6.1.  My Linux emulation is 5.2.  Given that I am
using StarOffice heavily, I would prefer not to upgrade my
Linux compatibility.

I should be able to compile xfstt under Linux emulation.
But how do I do that?  When I try to execute make, it grabs
all the freebsd executables.  So, it must be a path thing,
or some environment variable.  Just a pointer to the correct
reading material would be appreciated.

Many Thanks,
