[Freeciv] Re: Will recompile with Xaw3d fix Xaw civclient stability issues?

[sunqist <yorick@xxxxxxx>]

Reinier,
     Thanks, 1.5.4 is stable and works perfectly.  No city popup problems at 
all!    I
should have seen the -L, it's right there in the Imakefile example comments.  
This is
why I'm not a programmer, no eye for the detail of syntax. :-)  I'm going to 
try to
find out what the most recent version is that works next, I'll post what I find.
Thanks again for all your help, it will be great to be able to play civ again.  
I
intend to be in A'dam for Queens day again next year; if you're in the area, 
let me
know and I'll buy you a beer or three.
