 Dear CCL'ers and Linux users,
 I tried to compile Rasmol for my X-windows and failed  :(
 My X is configured for 16 bit color. Less looks bad, more I can't have due
 to amount of memory on my graphic card.
 In both cases when I compiled RASMOL with definition eigth- or thirtytwobit
 I became error 'No suitable display detected'. I tried also sixteenbit, but
 then I became some 'parse' and 'syntax' error.
 Question: Is there any easy way to compile rasmol for 16 bit X-server, or
 cofigure it to work with 8-bit color on 16-bit X?
 I should add that my knowledge of C is minimal.
