Tgif FAQ - Compile & Link Problems

I get the "undefined symbol _XipSetIOErrorHandler in convxim.o" error during the link phase of building tgif from source. How do I fix it?
You are probably running X11R5. You can modify Tgif.tmpl and add -D_NO_XIMP to the first XIMPDEFINES. After the modification, the top part of Tgif.tmpl should look like:
#if ProjectX == 5
#if BuildXimp
XIMPDEFINES      = -D_NO_XIMP
#else
XIMPDEFINES      = -D_NO_XIMP
#endif
#elif ProjectX > 5
XIMPDEFINES      =
#endif

To verify that you are running X11R5, the value of XlibSpecificationRelease should be 5 in <X11/Xlib.h>.
