I tried to run an xrdb -merge command and it failed complaining of no cpp, so I copied cpp from Vector 4.3
Then it complained of no tradcpp0, so I copied it over from Vector 4.3, but it still complained of no tradcpp0. So, I copied it over to the same directory as it was in Vector 4.3, which is:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.2.3
Then it worked.
There are some xrdb -merge commands in ~/.xinitrc. I wonder if they work without the cpp and tradcpp0 files?
Does xrdb work?
Thanks bladehunter,
After I got it working I could run the help. Here it is for you. Note the option to bypass the preprocessr
Maybe you could try it and see if it works with the -nocpp option?

- usage: xrdb [-options ...] [filename]
where options include:
-display host:dpy display to use
-all do all resources [default]
-global do screen-independent resources
-screen do screen-specific resources for one screen
-screens do screen-specific resources for all screens
-n show but don't do changes
-cpp filename preprocessor to use [/usr/bin/cpp -traditional -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DX_LOCALE ]
-nocpp do not use a preprocessor
-query query resources
-load load resources from file [default]
-override add in resources from file
-merge merge resources from file & sort
-edit filename edit resources into file
-backup string backup suffix for -edit [.bak]
-symbols show preprocessor symbols
-remove remove resources
-retain avoid server reset (avoid using this)
-quiet don't warn about duplicates
-Dname[=value], -Uname, -Idirectory passed to preprocessor
A - or no input filename represents stdin.
