Not quite what I reported, NetBSD doesn't need the space, it needs a -rpath. Before, there was neither -rpath nor -R. Your patch makes things better though! checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include checking whether -R must be followed by a space... no and X_CFLAGS = -I/usr/X11R6/include X_EXTRA_LIBS = X_LIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -R/usr/X11R6/lib X_PRE_LIBS = -lSM -lICE so the -R made it, and all is well :-) I can't check the opposite though: do systems that don't want rpath get one now? Cheers, Patrick
