That helped a bunch.  Now it blows up on Xinerama related symbols being
undefined (during a linking).  It' probably because I don't have much X11
related files installed.  I'll try to install those and see if it gets
further.

Using Sun Studio, I still get the "must use c99" error.  It appears to have
a different way of specifying the standard.  At the moment, I want to get it
going with gcc first.  Then, if I feel adventurous enough, I'll look at
Studio again.

Out of curiosity, have you considered using a more automatic way of
configuring the build?  (Something like autotools (ew) or cmake.)

No worries.  I intend to get notion to compile on it, and use it on several
of my computers.  That should test it enough ;)

Thanks for all the help.

Jeff.
