I haven't tried to build dm2k, but based on other experience with porting
to Alphas, look for long vs int problems.  This includes using standard
types (int, etc) instead of typedefs like time_t or Pixel, which can be
architecture specific in size.  Also mixing pointers and ints (pointers are
64-bits on the Alpha).

I had trouble with colors in the old DM because they were declared as "int"
instead of "Pixel", which is typedefed by X as "long".

Did you try turning on *all* the warnings and checks in the compiler ?
