 You do not have X on your system. You need to knock out the X drivers 
 before compiling. The interactive driver selector should help you with 
 this.

 Thanks a lot.  The strange thing is that I do have X running very well
 with a Matrox AGP 4M card as a test.  I don't seem to get to the
 interactive
 driver selector.  
 
 Thanks again,

 P.D.  I didn't have X running when I tried to compile although I think
 that
       is what i always do.

 Something is badly broken - the X libraries and headers just need
 to be present, not running.
 
 The interactive selector will die/break/notwork if you have your
 TERM set incorrectly or if BATCH is set.

 Boy is this embarrassing but I am happy about it :-)  I was
 doing everything remotely from home with a dialup connection.
 
 I started X just to be sure, went to a terminal and made install
 I got the window and everything installed perfectly.
 
 I don't now why unless I just couldn't get the tcl config window
 at home and that's why it wouldn't install.
 
 Please close 6807 and atribute it to pilot error.  I'm sorry.
 I appreciate your help.  If you hadn't answered, I was so far
 out in left field who knows when I would have done what I did :-)
