If this works, it is because %p/include can be put in the search path for those pkgs. Why can't /usr/X11R6/include be put there too ? If such a pkg is really necessary, I understand it would not be right to create "X11 -> /usr/X11R6/include/X11" in %p/include, since openmotif3 and xaw3d already install such a dir. But would it not suffice to do smthng like:
mkdir -p %i/include/X11 ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/X11/* %i/include/X11 # and then for openmotif3 : rm %i/include/X11/bitmaps ? JF Mertens PS: Obviously I would still prefer xorg to install the (completely traditional) symlink "X11 -> /usr/X11R6/include/X11" in /usr/include (as I've always done on my own machine). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
