[R] R 1.90 make problem with /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xutil.h on suse linux 9.1?

[Ross Lazarus]

This is probably a Suse specific problem and not a bug in R, but I'm 
reporting it in case it's useful for someone to know about....

Trying to compile R1.9.0 from source on a standard Suse 9.1 install 
(athlon in a shuttle sn41g2).
configure seems fine but the Suse X11R6 Xlib.h might be toxic.

In case it helps, here's the sad end to the make output. I can post the 
Xlib.h if that would help...

Please email me directly for more information if needed as I don't 
normally read this list....meanwhile, I'll go try the rpm....
