XFree86-devel-4.1.0-17mdk
'wprv' is an alias of mine for rpm -qa --whatprovides, but shows
that you need XFree86-devel installed. Without diggin way into it,
I don't know if a < 4.1 version will do. So if you're already runnin
XF-4.1, just install XFree86-devel off your CD's. You should then be
able to compile unclutter.
If when you installed you didn't select 'development' options,
you're probly gonna run into lot'sa situations where compiles (which
is what rebuilding a src.rpm is) fail. I suggest sooner or later you
boot the install CD and do an 'upgrade, this time selecting the
development packages.
