LM80 was the Mandrake distro I had back when I was experimenting with xwpe; that was the last time it was included with Mandrake, and I don't know why they took it out. It was disappointing. Although I don't have the binaries anymore, I do keep the source, and I happen to have gotten my hands on xwpe-1.5.23a-4mdk.src.rpm. On attempting an rpm --rebuild on this file, I found that a recompile required gpm-devel, so I downloaded and installed the following: ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/updates/6.0/RPMS/gpm-devel-1.19.3-3.2mdk.i586.rpm After that the source compiled with no problem (this system is LM81): ____________________________________________________________ Finding Provides: (using /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides)...

The source will generate the above files, xwpe-xxxxx.rpm and xwpe-X11-xxxxx.rpm. The X11 one is an X frontend for the xwpe command line version. These rpms are also available pre-compiled from carroll.cac.psu.edu from the following directory: /pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-old/8.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS If you still are having trouble, use the urpmi command to attempt an install of the binary rpm's and see the exact name of the package that you are needing. You probably won't have to do that, however. Hope that gets you going! :) LX -- 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� Kernel 2.4.8-26mdk Mandrake Linux 8.1 Enlightenment 0.16.5 Evolution 1.02 Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
