I am trying to compile xvnews on 2.0.5-R and always run into this problem at the
link ( I think) stage. Someone had a package for xvnews for 1.1.5.1 which I used
then and tried on the updated system, but it would not work there.  If anyone
could help or knows of a package that will work, I would appreciate the assist.

Here is the make output showing the breakdown.

As a separate comment, I previously sent a question to the list and received
no comments or responses.  Would it be of value to program your Majordomo
server to make automatic receipts/acknowledgements to confirm receipt of
your mail?

I apologise for bothering you with such a trivial problem, but while I am 
facinated with these os's, my programming skills were frozen at the level of
the "scientific subset of PLI" after I became so disgusted with Fortran ii/iv
as progmulgated by ibm.
