- Well, I had no problems at all configuring and running Elm on my SGI Iris under
- 4.0.5. Now, I didn't try the docs, so I cannot comment.

- The biggie for SGI is to say Elm is a non ansi application, so you need to
- list -cckr as an additional compilation flag. I took all the defaults from configure
- and it ran just fine.
