Re: xchat on sunos 5.8-IA32

"configure", as usual, is broken.  It's trying to compile test problems,
and at least one of the following is the case:

1) Whoever maintains "configure" has the misconception that
LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be set to include any directory that might hold
libraries
2) Whoever maintains "configure" has some childish grudge against Sun,
eg. yet another Linux-centrist

There are a couple of ways to work around this bug in configure.

o)  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be a colon-seperated list of directories
where shared libraries are found, just long enough for configure to run,
then unsetenv it.
o)  Edit configure to properly link with -R so the resultant binaries
can find their libraries

Either way, you'll probably have to edit the makefiles to get them to
link with -R.  If you end up with a binary that doesn't dump core 4-5
times a day, or kill the X server if you right-click on a nick, please
let me know how/where you got your GTK/GLIB/etc. libraries.
