   Hmm.  If I understand this right, then 'make World' works, it's make
   install that fails?

   xmkmf is used to convert the initial Imakefile into a Makefile.

   Then 'make World' will essentially do the following:

   make Makefiles
   make clean
   make includes
   make depend
   make all

   Perhaps if you could do the following:

   make clean
   make World 2>&1 |tee mk.log

   and then send me the mk.log file so I can see what fails.

   Maybe it's just the install phase that isn't working, even though
   everything else is built?
