The 6.3 indicates this is a X11R6.3 library. It's certainly supposed to be built along the lines of building R6.3. It looks as if your Makefile hierarchy is hosed, since X11 can normally be built self- contained, i.e. without a need to install something before the entire build is over. Have you accidentally run ``xmkmf'' anywhere in your tree? This will cause the Makefiles to start referencing the installed libs, as opposed to the libs from the build area. As a stop-gap measure, you could install the include files and libraries that hopefully have already been built, and then continue to make the binaries. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
