However, I was able to find the X11 headers from Apple and have now installed them. > BTW, could you please try to quote only the relevant > parts of the > mails you are replying to? Sorry about that. I will try now to delete the irrelevant quotes. Also, I decompressed the Xft2 package again and retried the compile. It now seems to be coming up with a different error when I type the "make" command: lib -lXrender -lfreetype -lz cc: unrecognized option `-shared' ld: unknown flag: -h make: *** [libXft.so.2.0] Error 1 And there seems to be no errors in the config log for xft. What do you think could be causing this new error? Thanks, J Silverman __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
