An oversight that this is not checked at configure time? Slackware 13.37 installs fribidi-0.10.9. Or disable it at configure time if you don't need it. > >> I did subsequently try configure --with-gnome=no and got the same >> compilation error. > > You would do when you're looking to disable fribidi, and not GNOME. See the > option again. What made you think this had anything to do with GNOME? I have absolutely no idea what FBidi.c does or what fribidi does, gnome or otherwise. But I ran configure --help and noted the --with-gnome option. Since I don't use gnome, I decided to try turning the option off, on the off-chance that it might improve things. It certainly couldn't hurt, since I was giving configure a more accurate picture of the build environment. I disabled configuring with fribidi, no thanks to configure --help, which makes no mention of --enable-bidi (I looked at the configure file itself) and was able to get it built. Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction. /Don Allen > > -- Thomas Adam >
