Hello,

Using Google, I found that a very similar problem arose
in June 2003. See the 'LEAP compiling problem' thread at
http://amber.ch.ic.ac.uk/archive/200306/
This suggestion by Dave was reported to fix the problem:

I may have located something else to look at: in
$AMBERHOME/src/leap/src/Wc/Imakefile, line 28 looks like this:

/**/#########################################################################

For some reason, your version of imake may not like this(?). It still seems
like a configuration problem, since these files have worked for 15 years
on many different X installations. Still, you might try removing these
comments (and the other ones like this in the file), to see if that helps.

...good luck...dac

Scott
