It should look something like: lrwxrwxrwx /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so - libXext.so.6.4 lrwxrwxrwx /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 - libXext.so.6.4 -rwxr-xr-x /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4 There needs to be one file named libXext.so. Create a soft link. Thanks so much Dan for this suggestion. I created the soft link: (as root in /usr/lib64): ln -s libXext.so.6.4.0 libXext.so so that ll -h libXext* yields: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 16 21:09 libXext.so - libXext.so.6.4.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 14 03:30 libXext.so.6 - libXext.so.6.4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 71K Jul 12 23:42 libXext.so.6.4.0 and now the build completes cleanly! I guess I don't need the static library. onwards! JFYI you can just run ldconfig to have those symlinks created for all libraries in /lib, /usr/lib and whatever is in your /etc/ld.so.conf. Looks like your upgrade forgot to do that ;) HTH Björn
