Hmm, I have the following installed:

lesstif-0.93.94-4mdk
lesstif-devel-0.93.94-4mdk
libxorg-x11-6.9.0-5.2.20060mdk
libxorg-x11-devel-6.9.0-5.2.20060mdk

That should do it, shouldn't it? Still I get a huge number of "undefined
reference" errors. Perhaps my versions are too new or something?

OK, I was already afraid that I somehow overlooked something in the
README & INSTALL files ... I really hate it when I whine about
something, only to find the exact thing in some doc file - usually after
someone else kindly suggested to Read The Fine Manual ... Ah well, I'll
poke around a bit more when I have the time; my current PCB version is
usable, and the printing bugs are mostly annoying.

I'll first try to get GSPiceUI to build with Stuart Brorson's
suggestions - I'm presently digging around in the unpacked files from
the ISO image to change things appropriately, and to manually build this
one component (which, so far, hasn't been succesful either). I'll put
any questions about that in a reply to his message.
