Agreed. IMHO imake and xmkmf should be together with their config files... i.e in the xdevel package. 1. They're only used when compiling x binaries. 2. Getting a 'xmkmf: file not found' will probably get users thinking "I need an x development package". Getting a failed xmkmf run will most probably get the users thinking 'bug!'. Maybe you'd care to file this as a bug against xbase? Christian
