I was going to look for this problem myself, but I'm not able to build rxvt from source: $ cygport rxvt-20050409-4 compile [...] gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DHAVE_LIBXPM -O2 -pipe -DDEBUG_STRICT -I/home/corinna/src/rxvt/rxvt-20050409-4/build/W11/X11 -I/home/corinna/src/rxvt/rxvt-20050409-4/build/W11 -I.. -I/home/corinna/src/rxvt/rxvt-20050409-4/src/rxvt/src -I. -c command.c -o command.o In file included from command.c:49: rxvt.h:58:19: xpm.h: No such file or directory [...] The file /usr/include/X11/xpm.h is present on my system, there's no special xpm.h in the rxvt sources. What am I doing wrong? Is it some sort of build dependency I'm missing? OTOH, if you have an idea how to solve the ALT + Cursor key problem....
