Declan, presumably you had edited the "config.h"? If so then the likelihood is that you merely removed the "#" comment mark from the defines instead of moving the define entirely outside of the C comment delimiters "/* comment text */" ? > Quote from INSTALL-X.org - 3.6.2: > 3.6.2. Other GNU tools What is INSTALL-X.org? Did you actually mean that to be an URL or is it the INSTALL from the XF86-3.6.2 ? If so may I suggested that you update your X to XF86-4.x ? > Use of the GNU BinUtils assembler, as, and linker, ld, is not supported > -- period!

May have been true back in XF86-3.6.2. I don't remmeber it, but I never compiled my own back then. Doesn't Mandrake provide RPMs that you could use to update your distribution? -Oisin _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
