There is really no difference between the two choices, though!
And from what you're writing, I would say that failing to provide a wrapper script to set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH is unacceptable (but unfortunately far too typical for most commercial Unix packages; it seems I always end up writing wrapper scripts to invoke them correctly.)
Of course, the best thing would be for them to provide source. In > that case, it's `xmkmf` ; make makefiles ; make ; make install > and then you are done.
