OK Chris (and everyone else on the list),

I've made a couple of small changes to the configure script.
You need to:

1. Get ddd-3.3.8test1.tar.gz from www.sf.net/projects/ddd

2. ./configure --with-athena-includes=/usr/contrib/X11R6/include \
               --with-athena-libraries=/usr/contrib/X11R6/lib

3. make CFLAGS=-O2 CXXFLAGS=-O2 LDFLAGS=-L/opt/gcc-3.3.1/lib

(Substitute the location where your gcc libraries are installed.)

This is documented in the HPUX section in the PROBLEMS file.

Please confirm that this works for you.

Andrew.

PS: please feel free to test 3.3.8test1; if there are problems,
I'd like to know before making the real 3.3.8 release.  But keep
in mind that this is a test release, OK?  So no flames... :)
