Here's the weird part though ... I found this xpm.h file in the following directory: /usr/X11R6/include/X11 along with all this: ./ Constraint.h HPkeysym.h Object.h Shell.h X10.h Xcms.h X.h Xosdefs.h Xresource.h ../ Core.h ICE/ ObjectP.h ShellP.h Xalloca.h Xdefs.h XKBlib.h Xos.h Xthreads.h ap_keysym.h CoreP.h Intrinsic.h PEX5/ SM/ Xarch.h Xdmcp.h Xlib.h Xos_r.h Xutil.h bitmaps/ cursorfont.h IntrinsicP.h pixmaps/ StringDefs.h Xatom.h XF86keysym.h Xlibint.h xpm.h XWDFile.h Composite.h DECkeysym.h keysymdef.h PM/ Sunkeysym.h Xauth.h Xft/ Xlocale.h Xpoll.h CompositeP.h extensions/ keysym.h RectObj.h Vendor.h Xaw/ Xfuncproto.h Xmd.h Xproto.h ConstrainP.h fonts/ magick/ RectObjP.h VendorP.h Xaw3d/ Xfuncs.h Xmu/ Xprotostr.h Now, I've tried to use --with-extra-lib=/usr/X11R6/include/X11 But it tells me: checking for extra library directory... /usr/X11R6/include/X11 configure: error: "/usr/X11R6/include/X11" is not a directory The directory is owned by root and the listing is as follows: drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Jun 7 02:11 X11/ while the contents are readable by all. Any idea whay it won't accept that as a directory??? Bryan You Wrote: Hey Bryan, Sounds that you don't have installed your xfoms (also xform-devel package), another possibility is that your xfomrs lib is the wrong version (or cannot find the xforms). Did you try to install 0.88 (sorry, your sysadmin will have to do this!). Which RH version are you running? A further good adress to find out what is missing is "www.rpmfind.net". You type in form.h (its a header file of a developement package I guess) and wonder what is comming up....:-))) I case of xpm.h this sounds like a missing Xfree-devel package ! (in both case you are dependent on root to install missing or alternative versions) :-( Bye Thomas Bryan Gmyrek wrote: >I've surfed past issues and read some info online but I still can't get >this to work.
