Or.. you could have used my RPM packages from Rawhide of 4.2.99.x in RHL 8.0. It requires upgrading freetype, fontconfig and perhaps a few other minor things also, but otherwise works quite well. The absolute latest RPMs wont install in 8.0 cleanly due to NPTL and other changes that are fairly recent in rawhide. A simple rebuild of the RPM package in 8.0 should work cleanly though as long as the proper dependancies are also installed first (do not use --nodeps at all, or you'll end up with a broken mess). Hope this helps. -- Mike A. Harris _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
