I also traced the errors back (apparently) to the <ctype.h> include
file, which I can't find in any of the directories in the search path
for the build. I don't know enough about the Linux/Intel compiler to
understand why this wouldn't be a compile error, rather than a link
error, if the include file can't be found.

I did "clean" before building; I actually downloaded the 5.5 source into
a clean area and rebuilt from scratch - no patches. I got the same
errors building the clean distribution source. Here's the output from
'uname -a' on my Linux workstation:

Linux shemp 2.6.5-7.244-bigsmp #1 SMP Mon Dec 12 18:32:25 UTC 2005 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

One difference I see between the HP-UX and Linux builds is that, on
HP-UX, the build uses "-I/usr/include/X11R5 -I/usr/include/Motif1.2" and
on Linux, it uses " -I/usr/X11R6/include". Again, not sure what that
means, or whether it means anything.

Thanks for the response.

Hmmm. I expect the __ctype_... stuff is the static data used by the
<ctype.h>
"functions" (toupper, isascii etc). These can be implemented as macros,
or
maybe as inline functions; I expect that's what's happening here, and
that the
linker cannot find this data reference. I would have thought this should
be in
the standard C library (libc.so). Pretty fundamental!

Did you make sure all object files and archives were removed from your
nedit
tree (ie did you run "make clean")? Does the unpatched nedit source tree
build
properly?
