I don't think you'll get it to run without the X libraries being present, since that's the way it's linked. On the other hand, you can definitely *run* it without connecting to an X server. I do that all the time. If it bugs you, you might like to hack the code so that you can build it without X support. > I don't want to have to install X just to use CVSUP. No, that's not a good reason to install X. There are many others. Why don't you want to use it? Greg
