You need the development version of the rpm, I think. > Q1: I thought the make install was supposet to move the stuff in. Is my > thinking broke here? No. But the source code from XFree86 may have a different opinion of where to move things (and which things to move in!) than Red Hat -- or SuSE, or Debian, or ... > Moved png.h to /usr/local/include (and then several others as iterations > found them) and now when I compile I get the above errors.

The problem isn't that it can't find libpng.so -- the problem is that it can't find deflate and friends (from zlib, I think) that libpng.so depends on. > I've got a zillion zlibs on this system.

It is not looking for the source to zlib, only for the lib so it can satisfy the dependencies that libpng has. > Q2 & 3: There is no zlib.so anywhere and I have the deflate.o (and all the > rest) where the source is. Where should I put them? I see there is a > deflate.c in the XFree86 cvs tree - shouldn't it be building and using that? Can you find an RPM with zlib?

It's okay as long as you 1) make progress, 2) ask good questions where we don't have to guess too much 3) make an effort to look up the obvious before you post and 4) mostly follow instructions :) As long as somebody does that I don't mind helping him/her :) -- it's actually fun then! -Peter _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
