I'll try that. I've resurected an old laptop, but its harddrive is
still somehow flaky.

| If you look at Makefile.pamphlet the documentation there says:
|
| On Fedora Core 5 we cannot use the line
| \begin{verbatim}
| ${XLIB}/libXpm.a
| \end{verbatim}
| to link to the Xpm libraries. Instead We need to use
| \begin{verbatim}
| -l Xpm
| \end{verbatim}
| These are added onto the end of the LDF variable.
I don't think that is just a Fedora Core 5 issue. On all platforms, I
posit that it is a timebomb (read WRONG) to say
${XLIB}/libXpm.a
Rather, one should be saying
-l Xpm
and add -L/path/to/X11.
Build-improvements corrected those, so I don't know whether you'll see
that problem there.
| I'm hoping FC6 doesn't have the problem.
It is a bug in Axiom makefile.
