Which is not surprising since rawhide specifically is NOT supposed to work on Red Hat Linux 7.1 or 7.2, since it has been compiled mostly with gcc 3.1. Rawhide is our internal development tree, and is not ever intended, nor advertised to be stable or useable. Rawhide is as close to downloading XFree86 off my hard disk while I'm editing the source code as you can get. Not something you should _ever_ expect to work, or expect to work without problems. That said, my XFree86 4.2.0 RPM's that have been compiled and packaged for Red Hat Linux 7.2 work fairly well, and do not have the dependancies referenced above. <grin> -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
