Thank you TD, I did look for that file using konqueror's find file option, it isn't there :-( Sorry for the analogy, but the includes seem to be like .dlls in windoze, right? Is it just x.h that I need or are there any other 'includes'? Should I be looking for a package that contains x.h or is it some X package that I don't have installed? My X works well, maybe it's some development package that contains x.h. Thank you again for your help.
