Hi,

   I've just built X11R4 (pl. 18) on a Sparc 2 running 4.1.1. There
were no errors but when I start any X program I get the following
error :

ld.so: call to undefined procedure _alloca from 0xf772302c

A test program I wrote that used alloca worked fine.

   I unsetenv'd LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ran `ldconfig' in /usr/lib and made
certain that I didn't link against existing X libraries as it says in
FAQ #89, but no luck. Any ideas? The 4.1.1 was the preinstalled
version if that makes a difference.  

Thanks,
