At least on AIX, you get to *first* install one or more of the GNU
tools (autoconf, automake, GNU make, libtool). *Then* you can
look at building glib and then gtk+.
THat's a DAMNED lot of extra stuff you need over and above what IBM
ships. XEmacs currently builds Just Fine on an AIX box that has nothing
but the standard IBM-supplied operating system and C compiler. At the
current time, everything else is *OPTIONAL*.
Please don't make it mandatory to install additional stuff just to
get the editor to display a window. ;)
