Hello, there.

I am going to be putting together a recording
"appliance", and plan on using a fairly minimal distro
as the base, and installing the software I need from
there.

Some of the applications I will be installing require
the XFree86 libraries and headers (basically like what
XFree86-lib and XFree86-devel RPMS in some distros
install).  I don't need a full X install, since I
won't actually be running any X apps (the ones that
have X as a rwquirement have console tools, which is
what I'll be using)

I was looking at the binaries available for
downloading, and noticed one called "xlib.tgz", and
when I uncompressed it, noticed that the files go into
the 'include' and 'lib' directories (presumable one
could put them into /usr/include and /usr/lib
manually?)

I know this likely isn't recommended, but is it
possible (i.e., would it work??)  Or are there a
couple other packages that I would need to download,
uncompress, and install (manually)?

TIA,


=====
