The next error is about missing pam_appl.h, It looks like xdm is configured with PAM support, but PAM is not found. You can solve this by: 1) Installing PAM development package (thats the headers). 2) Configuring xmd to build without PAM, I do not remember how XFree86 did it. But the usual way is ./configure --without-pam or something like that. probably in a readme somewhere, or ./configure --help ... > make[3]: Entering directory `/home/mroos/compile/xc/programs/xdm' The dangerous path is to modify the makefile and remove -DUSE_PAM from it. Dangerous because you can not be sure if you found them all. So if possible, rerun configure or similar. ... > I need to finish 'make install' first then I will try running it :) You dont say! ;-) Anyway, about the missing directory. Do write a bug rapport of it and send it to XFree.org. Its best that they fix their scripts (if is was their script that is). // Jarmo
