Chuck, Many Linux distos distribute both "user" and "devel" packages for X11. Make sure that both the X11 libs and headers are installed on your system.
The configure process for xrender automatically searchs for the libs and headers in standard locations at were typical in 2003. Things change over time as is evidenced by the locations of the X11 libs and headers on an FC6 system. xrender does allow the locations of the X11 libs and headers to be set explicitly as CONFIGURE_ARGS --x-includes=DIR X include files are in DIR --x-libraries=DIR X library files are in DIR Edit the GAR makefile and add these CONFIGURE_ARGS CONFIGURE_ARGS = $(DIRPATHS) CONFIGURE_ARGS += --x-includes=/a/b/c/include --x-libraries=/c/d/e/lib where /a/b/c & /c/d/e are paths on your system. -Joseph ===================================================================== On Tue, 2006-11-14 at 20:31 -0500, Chuck Hallenbeck wrote: > Hi list, > > My partition space problem is solved, but now the build fails as > follows: > > checking for X... no > configure: error: X is required, but it was either disabled or not > found. > make[5]: *** [configure-work/main.d/xrender-0.8.3/configure] Error 1 > make[5]: Leaving directory > `/pub/gnome/garnome-2.16.1.1/freedesktop/xrender' > > Here is output from "which" and "file": > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:desktop% which X Xorg > /usr/bin/X > /usr/bin/Xorg > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:desktop% file /usr/bin/X /usr/bin/Xorg > /usr/bin/X: symbolic link to `/usr/bin/Xorg' > /usr/bin/Xorg: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), > for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for > GNU/Linux 2.4.1, stripped > > > So X is there, or actually Xorg, but it is shown for Linux 2.4.1, > whereas my kernel is 2.6.18, as per this: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:desktop% uname -a > Linux cq 2.6.18 #1 SMP Sat Oct 7 14:45:02 EDT 2006 i686 GNU/Linux > > I have been using this X with gnome 2.14, installed from the Debian > unstable archives, and am attempting to move up to gnome 2.16 with this > garnome build.
