Thanks to Oliver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Will <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for their prompt answer.
Appending `-L /usr/X11R6/lib' to the command line made it. I have wine (version 960824) installed on my box. I tried it with MS-Word 6.0c, MS-Excel and Matlab 4.2c (all 16bit applications) and they run to my satisfaction. I have not tested them thorougly but I am quite impressed already. I think that if we (debian-users) could test and report bugs to the developers this piece of software would soon be very very usable. Thanks again for this wonderful system to the Debian developers!

Try adding `-L /usr/X11R6/lib' to the command line, so that gcc knows where to look for libXpm. I think that, by default, it only looks in /lib and in /usr/lib. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 Make it idiot-proof, and someone will breed a better idiot. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
