Try to find where this lib is (file something like libX11.so, ....) I should be in /usr/lib or /usr/lib/X11 Do you have the -dev package for X11 installed? Also make sure that the compiler can find it. Try setting the LDFLAGS before compilation and look at /etc/ld.so.conf. The path to the lib must be in there when you try to run your program. After changing ld.so.conf you must run ldconfig! export LDFLAGS="-L /PATH/TO/X-LIBS" If the compiler complains about missing .h files also set: export CFLAGS="-I /PATH/TO/X-HEADER" export CXXFLAGS="-I /PATH/TO/X-HEADER" export CPP FLAGS="-I /PATH/TO/X-HEADER" Gregor ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Gregor Maier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 14-Sep-2001 Time: 08:35:35 ----------------------------------
