We no longer own a DEC Alpha machine and so cannot prepare binaries.
If you would provide me with the problems you had in installing from
source then maybe I could help you.

The usual problem in compiling XAS is that the necessary include files
are not present.  We assume that /usr/include has a file called X11
which is a link file , e.g.

    X11 -> ../X11R6/include/X11/

/usr/X11R6/include/X11
primate<351>$ ls
ap_keysym.h   fonts/        RectObjP.h    Xatom.h       Xfuncs.h   xpm.h

CoreP.h       Object.h      VendorP.h     Xdmcp.h       Xmu/       XWDFile.h
cursorfont.h  ObjectP.h     X10.h         XF86keysym.h  Xosdefs.h
DECkeysym.h   PM/           Xalloca.h     Xft/          Xos.h
extensions/   RectObj.h     Xarch.h       Xfuncproto.h  Xos_r.h

We use a few of the .h files here.  The RPM for XWindows developers
needs to be installed (that may not be correct language for alphas
unfortunately).
