hi Henrik thanks a lot for your reply. I managed to compile a simple program creating and showing a Window. The reason for the errors was because I missed a '-' (minus) in the pkg-config command which adds the I and L options ( I had typed pkg-config -cflags missing a '-' and of course rest of the command too). Sorry I was stupid and not careful. Hope this posting will be useful to someone like me. thanks anyway. Ramesh.K
