You need the .h file that matches the library (on your machine). The library comes from libX11 provided by CentOS-base and as such you want libX11-devel (provided by CentOS-base). > rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h will tell you. Actually no, "rpm -q --whatprovides ..." ask which of my installed package(s) provide ... and will not work in this case. If you want to find out which (uninstalled) package provides a certain file you'll have to use "yum provides ...". If you want to just install the file the following short-cut works: "yum install /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h" /Peter -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
