I was just thinking... do we have an XPM? I remember tweaking one by hand when I updated the icon, so there *should* be one.
Also, is there maybe another check to see if GIF compatibility is there instead of the platform check? Just a thought.

I finally found the issue that crashed the GUI of Pd 0.56.2 on Irix 6.5.22!
hooray!!!
It was the pd.gif icon. Icons in Irix are .xpm files. This should be a configure update.
so you have any specific suggestion (that doesn't add too much cruft to the build system?)
so would it be as simple as fixing the code in pd-gui.tcl like this:
set icon [file join $::sys_guidir pd.gif] if { $::tcl_platform(os) eq "IRIX"} { set icon [file join $::sys_guidir pd.xpm] }(and probably add pd.xpm to the list of files to be installed alongside pd.gif)
