Hi there,

I am trying to install vtk on sun4.  I configured as:
./configure --with-mesa --with-shared --with-java --with-patented 
--with-contrib

Now, when i try gmake, i get the following compilation error:

c++  -g -O2  -I.  -I. -I./../graphics -DVTK_USE_GRAPHICS -I./../imaging 
-DVTK_USE_IMAGING  -I/usr/openwin/share/include/   -I/usr/openwin/include  
-I./../common -I../common -I/home/ausable/software/src/tcl7.6/tk4.2/generic 
-I/home/ausable/software/src/tcl7.6/tcl7.6/generic -I/usr/java1.2/include 
-I/usr/java1.2/include/solaris -I/home/schroede/montnaro/Python-1.4/Include -c 
vtkOpenGLImageActor.cxx -o vtkOpenGLImageActor.o
In file included from vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.h:53,
                 from vtkOpenGLImageActor.cxx:49:
/usr/openwin/share/include/X11/Xlib.h:2063: ANSI C++ forbids declaration 
`XSetTransientForHint' with no type
/usr/openwin/share/include/X11/Xlib.h:2071: ANSI C++ forbids declaration 
`XActivateScreenSaver' with no type

..and lots of other such terms (in Xlib.h, and Xutil.h) that seem to have no 
type.  I tried looking into the Xlib.h file, and found that all these terms 
are declared as (for example):

extern XSetTransientForHint

Am I missing some include file here?

Thanks,
Mukta.
