www.rpmfind.net says "No package found of name
XFree86-devel-4.0.1-28mdk.i586.rpm." Since I don't know the name of the
other package, I don't know what to type in the search field to look for
that one. The AfterStep people only told me "I don't know how the other
one called, but it should be for headers for development with graphics
libraries." To somebody with an extensive and intimate knowledge of
packages for the Unix/Linux environment, this might mean something, but I
am a complete newbie, and I don't know anything.
