Boy, you're busy :-) No, you don't need the X sources, but you do need the header files and libs (which are loaded if you choose the right install option). You may also need to make a symbolic link from /usr/include/X11 to /usr/X11R6/include - I can't remember the details for xv, but several of the X ports use the old directory convention, and once it's set up, you don't notice. You might also need to link /usr/lib/X11 to /usr/X11R6/lib, for linking. > > > --- > Khetan Gajjar > Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ > Pipex-Internet Africa Operations > help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002 > > > John -- Beavis and Butt-Head; Vladimir and Estragon for the '90s. finger jbrann@panix.com for pgp public key
