Yes, I had done that long ago. I also installed libgtk2.0-dev. The problem was that the Xorg 7.0 upgrade removed the one file that ./configure uses to determine that there is a window system *at all*. > But the build failed because of problems with the X11 ICE > library: > ICElib.h was searched in > /usr/include/X11/ICE/ > but located in > /usr/X11R6/include/X11/ICE/ > and libICE.a was searched in > /usr/lib/ > but located in > /usr/X11R6/lib/ > To fix the problem I made symlinks: > # ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/X11/ICE/ /usr/include/X11/ > # ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.a /usr/lib > > I don't know if it is an Emacs problem, a Debian problem or an Xorg problem. I never hit that before. As I said previously, I had to install libxt-dev after upgrading to xorg 7.0. What I didn't mention is that the libxt-dev install also forced the installation of libice-dev and libsm-dev, which might be pertinent here. I'd suggest nuking your links before upgrading to 7.0 to keep the installation of xorg-common from failing (which wants to remove lots of stuff from /usr/X11R6). /usr/X11R6 will eventually go away entirely. Anyway, hope this helps someone else in a similar situation. -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
