Hello,
        Has anyone tried compiling Dirt under Linux? I finally got it to
compile after making some changes listed below but it still wont run it says
Warning: WcWidgetCreation (dirt) - Failed
           Problem: No children defined in Xrm database.
           Possible: resource file not found (check
XAPPLRESDIR,XENVIRONEMENT),
           Possible: top level widget in resource file not named dirt
WI_dirt: failed to bind user interface. Missing defaults file?

I know that this is probably something simple but who knows. The changes
I made are listed below.
        1- make changes to dirt_site.def - pretty simple
        2- the file /Dirt/lib/Xukc/Imakefile needs to be eddited the files
listed in here are listed one per line and this causes make to leave some
out so I went through with xedit and put all the files on one line -
pretty simple to see hard to explain
        3- the file /Dirt/lib/Xukc/icrm.c has two lines that cant be
compiled in my version of dirt it was lines 2365 and 2366 I remarked them
out. Yes I know that will cause serious problems but I didnt know what to
do with them so out they went.

        If you do these steps Dirt will compile with a lot of warning
messages but it will compile. When I run it I get the mesage above. Any
sugestions would be appreciated.
                                                        Sincerely,
