The advice I actually followed was that of Richard Jackson
( the main steps were to use the sun makefile, use cc instead of gcc and
to modify pbmplus.h ).
Below are excerpts of the answers and my original question at the end:

############# ORIGINAL QUESTION #############################
dear managers,
does anybody have a running netpbm / latex2html version out there?
I have tried to set up the version 98-1p1 but am stuck with the
compilation of netpbm! The only sources I could find were those dated
Mar 1 1994 and they don't have configure-files nor nearly understandable
makefiles nor ...
there should be a version of netpbm for DU 4.0b out there, shouldn't
there?
Any pointers to such a place would be very welcome!
thanks,
torsten mohrbach
