Hi,

	I've been trying to build a few X applications but it never seems to
work because the execution of the xmkmf script produces the following message
....

The_X# xmkmf
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
imake: No such file or directory: No description file.  Stop.
The_X# 

.... I've looked in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory but I cannot find a
subdirectory called config and I cannot find the Imake.tmpl file anywhere on 
the drive.  Whenever I try to compile something I get a message saying that
it cannot find Imake.tmpl.  I'm new to this whole UNIX thing so I really am 
not too good at figuring out whats going on.  Am I supposed to have a file
called Imake.tmpl?  The man pages say that I should and that all of this 
SHOULD work quite smoothly.  What am I missing?

	Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Many thanks.
