Running configure directly from the untarred archive, and with these options: ./configure --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include/ \ --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib/ I still get the same error: checking for zlib.h... no checking for X11/xpm.h... no configure: error: Xpm library and/or headers are not installed (required) I put those options because I found: [marco@polaris dfm]$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/include/X11/xpm.h -r--r--r-- 1 root root 16668 Sep 6 05:28 /usr/X11R6/include/X11/xpm.h [marco@polaris dfm]$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/|grep -i xpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81420 Sep 6 05:28 libXpm.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Nov 8 17:26 libXpm.so -> libXpm.so.4.11 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Oct 18 06:20 libXpm.so.4 -> libXpm.so.4.11 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56596 Sep 6 05:31 libXpm.so.4.11 For the record, changing to --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include/X11 gives the same result. What next? Thank you in advance!
