You are trying to compile a package which calls the Xlib library. The definitions for the library (i.e., what methods and functions are available to programmer) is stored in a file called header file which ends with the extension h. In most distributions, these are stored separately to the libraries (i.e., runtime only dependencies). If you do a search for your missing header file with the command yum provides *X11/Xlib.h you will see that this is provided with the libX11-devel package. Then you can install this package with the command yum install libX11-devel and so on for all of your missing dependencies. > I emailed the coder yesterday - still waiting for a reply. This is nothing to do with the coder. I think you will wait for a while for the reply. :) -- Hakan (m1fcj) - http://www.hititgunesi.org
