Here's something you might find interesting, Randy. Have a look at some autotools-based packages, and search for 'xmkmf' in the configure script. Looks to me like one of the standard template files for those scripts has a dependency on xmkmf as a way of detecting if X is installed - it seems to correspond to the --with-x parameter to configure. I've not tried building a system with X7.0 that didn't include xmkmf, but it's probably something worth investigating. This doesn't affect every packages, but I found it in many of the Gnome packages, and some of the freedesktop ones (e.g startup-notification, glitz). I don't have KDE installed, but Tom's error would suggest that at least some of it's packages do the same thing. Simon.
