Hi,

I just had a rather hard time debugging that 
some wxWindows user failed to link even any 
test programs generated by configure because 
the shared objects in the rpm reference 
function XRenderParseColor from libXrender.so.1.
Problem is that this function only exists in 
the libXrender.so.1 that's distributed with 
XFree86 version 4.3, not in the older 
versions, so trying to use the RPM for
lesstif-0.93.49 on any older system (e.g. 
RedHat-8.0) will always result in
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so: undefined reference to `XRenderParseColor'.
A "big blinking warning" saying "This rpm is
for XFree86 4.3 only" could spare others the
same kind of bug-hunting.
[Side note: I have no idea whether or not the 
 problem exists on source level as well... ]

        HTH,
              Stefan Neis
