Make sure you have headers and libraries installed!
I installed xorg-x11-proto-devel.
I think that FC5 has changed something related to /usr/X11R6 & /usr
for all X header file/library,... but I don't how to fix it.
Any help will be appreciated.
In X11R6 and earlier, all of the X development stuff was kept in a
single package, however in X11R7, each library is in its own individual
rpm package, with its own separate -devel subpackage.
When building software, you need to know exactly which individual X
libraries the software needs, and install the devel package for each
individual X library.
Additionally, X11R6 resided in /usr/X11R6, whereas X11R7 resides
directly in /usr. Any software that hard codes X development files,
libraries, binaries, etc. under /usr/X11R6 will need to be ported to
work with X11R7. The smart way to do that is to dynamically determine
where individual binaries/files are located. Slightly less reliable
than that is to hard code multiple static locations to check and fall
back.
