I don't have X, and there is no easy way to get the thing to compile without it (I think due to X calls in Metafont). Right. That TeX distribution is not very good. I recommend Karl Berry's, on ftp.cs.umb.edu (I think). Also, there is a "ln -f" in the Makefile, which is not something that works with NetBSD's ln. The `-f' flag has been added recently. It is in NetBSD-current and will be in the next release.
