So, the problem was i386-only versions of cairo-devel and xorg-x11-proto-devel that were installed on that machine. How that happened, I have no idea. I just set that machine up a couple of months ago with Centos 5.2/x86_64 and upgraded it to 5.3 shortly after that. > BTW, what exactly are you building? gxmame-0.35beta2.tar.bz2 Thanks loads for your help! You put me on the right track to getting this working and I appreciate your assistance immensely! For the other chap who's looking for "commercial support" for Centos, here is a lovely example of how Centos support really works. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
