> As I noted above, HP's imake is in /opt/imake, so make sure

> #if defined(HPArchitecture)
> INCLUDES = -I/usr/include/X11R6 -I/usr/contrib/X11R6/include \
> 	-I../include -I.
> #else
> INCLUDES = -I../include -I.
> #endif
> 
> following which I did 
> 
> % xmkmf; setenv LDOPTS -L/usr/contrib/X11R6/lib; make all
>

> Perl on HP's:  /usr/contrib/bin/perl is the one distributed with HP-UX
> 10.20 but it is pretty old (version 4.0).  You should plan on 
> putting the
> latest version on your system and editing your local copy of vncserver
> accordingly.  I changed the first line to
> 
> #!/usr/bin/env perl
> 
> which should find the same copy of perl as "which perl" 
> prints on pretty
> much all Unix systems.
