Hello peoples,
After looking at the config.log file, the problem seems to be a missing
-L/usr/X11R6/lib from the compile line when it is testing for Xext.
I noticed it is in other compile lines preceding the Xext test but not
there for Xext.
Where is the actual problem here? I have never tried to modify a configure
script.
Thanks
Michael Mercer

Hello,
Has anyone came across this error and know how to fix it?
Thanks
Michael Mercer
the ports are ksetispy, ksetiwatch, and uml.
They all complain about not finding libXext.
It is found in /usr/X11R6/lib directory.
