linux-headers is specific to the kernel so I just installed make and 
binutils from Slackware 8.1

This did not fix the problem with compiling libtiff.
But netpbm statrrted to compile.  It exited after not finding a tiff 
header file so I ran make -k and that worked, sort of.

The programs that I compiled all produced only Segmentation fault, and ldd 
reveals that they need ld-linux 2, libm 6, libc 6 and also libc 5.


I will ask netpbm's maintainer what to do when I have two libc's, because 
the configure program does not seem to deal properly with this.  He 
already edited his configure.pl to look for libvga.so also in /usr/lib - 
apparently other linuxes don't use that location.

I have libc.so.5 in BL2 in order to run David's netpbm for BL3.
If I can get libtiff and netpbm compiled for BL2 I can delete it.
I could rename it temporarily and try again to compile.
