No. That is why rpms are so nice. Whenever a ./configure fails read the error messages carefully. They will usually mention a file name, or a package name. To find the missing package do urpmf string where string is the file name(or part of it) mentioned in the error message. Then install the '-devel' version of the package which contains that file. In this example it simply says it cannot find X Well obviously X is installed, so it must mean it needs 'XFree86-devel' Install that then try again. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
