Ths usual remedy to that is to place "--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include -x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib" into the configure flags.

I don't know for sure whether installing Fink's xmkmf package > will work around this issue, but give that a try. Installing Fink's xmkmf package does not solve any configure problems. The xmkmf package hides the xmkmf executable away from the usual PATH, so that without further fiddling with the package that needs xmkmf, nothing happens. The fact that configure does not find X11 when xmkmf is not present is always the proof of a bug in the configure script (untested and therefore buggy fallback code), usually inherited from a bug in one of the autotools, but sometimes also due to an original bug in the configure script. Until all these bugs are weeded out, the best remedy is to use the mentioned configure flags, so that the whole X11 search code is short-circuited. Configure then runs faster, too. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
