Hi,

This question is gonna sound simple and naive, but hey, I think more
and more people will come from the same direction as I am.

I got the same error as talked about below. What I got is latest cygwin
4.10 with X11R6. They both install as binaries... so I wonder how much
of the source I am missing to compile lesstif.

So, I downloaded source for xfree86, untarred it in /usr/src/. Lesstif
still can't find files. What exactly and where exactly is it looking
and what exactly does it need?

Thanks.
Mike


Why does it say I need X11r5 or higher when I have r6 ?
Several people have reported build problems; the configure script looks
for an X distribution and then checks whether it is X11R5 or X11R6. 
On some systems the configure script stops, saying 
configure: error: You must have X11 Revision 5 or higher to compile
LessTif
while the system actually has X11R6. 
Apparently this has to do with installations of Linux, in which the
include files (under /usr/include) often contain symbolic links to the
source directories (either on disk or on CD-ROM). In such a situation,
if one either removes the CD-ROM, or cleans up /usr/src, the effect
will be dangling symbolic links under /usr/include which confuse our
configure script. 
The solution is obvious : make sure that your include files don't
contain symbolic links to nonexistent files. 
Another possibility is that you simply forgot to install the X11
development package (e.g. X11-devel RPM) so that the related headers
are not yet installed on your system.
