The bxforms thing also does not actually place the some of the later
xforms 88 files in places as it should.  You may have to do some
hunting and see if the make install actually puts some of the files
where it says it does.  One file I had to hunt down under suse 5.1 was
forms.h.  I watched the compilation and saw it was failing on finding a
certain forms.h thingee.

I compile most of my stuff and I would suggest also getting the latest
xisp and compiling from sources.  The latest version I have is 2.5p4. 
This cleaned up the interface a bit and I think the accompanying help
file was better done.  I compiled this version on SuSE 5.3 with no
additional xforms lib requirements other than what comes with SuSE 5.3.
