As always you are best off compiling the src.rpm
I am running 6.8.2 which I got by downloading the src.rpm from Cooker
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/SRPMS/main
Recompiling Cooker RPMs is not always successful, but at the moment xorg-6.8.2
compiles on Mandrake 10.1 OK.
To compile a src.rpm create a directory structure in your /home of
~/rpm
~/rpm/BUILD
~/rpm/SPECS
~/rpm/SOURCES
~/rpm/RPMS
~/rpm/RPMS/i586
~/rpm/RPMS/noarch
~/rpm/RPMS/i386
~/rpm/RPMS/i686
~/rpm/RPMS/athlon
~/rpm/SRPMS
~/rpm/tmp
then create a file ~/.rpmrc containing
#buildarchtranslate: i386: i586
#buildarchtranslate: i486: i586
#buildarchtranslate: i586: i586
#buildarchtranslate: i686: i586
optflags: i386 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i386 %{debugcflags}
optflags: i486 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i486 %{debugcflags}
optflags: k6 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=k6 %{debugcflags}
optflags: i586 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i586 %{debugcflags}
optflags: i686 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i686 %{debugcflags}
optflags: athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=athlon %{debugcflags}
Download the src.rpm and as USER (not root) install it with
rpm -ivh package_name.src.rpm
It will install the source files (plus patches) into ~/rpm/SOURCES and a file
xorg.spec into ~/rpm/SPECS
View xorg.spec and edit it if you wish to change the way xorg is compiled.
The specfile is a set of instructions on how to patch the source, and how to
build 'Mandrake' packages. Once you are happy with the spec file cd to the
~/rpm/SPECS directory, and as USER NOT root run
rpmbuild -bb xorg.spec
(You may need to install the rpmbuilder package)
Go away have a cup of tea, some dinner, go down the pub, have several beers.
Stop for a kebab on the way home, and watch some late night telly.
When the compiling is finished you will find a whole bunch of RPMs have
appeared in ~/rpm/RPMS/i586 Install them in the usual way.

Don't know if it makes sense, but have you tried
$ whereis g++
On my MDK9.0 I get:
g++: /usr/bin/g++ /usr/share/man/man1/g++.1.bz2
From your log looks like g++ is not installed. It could be in a
different package than gcc (i.e. gcc-c++)

Dave Kubasiak Dave, it is telling you that the four packages it lists, libglade, libgnomeui, gnet, and libxml that you currently have on your system (or do not have as the case may be) are not compatible with what you are trying to install and that you need to upgrade to a package that is at least equal to or greater than the listed packages. In other words you need to upgrade libglade to at least libglade-2.0.0-xxx.rpm or greater. You can find them at http://www.rpmfind.net/ and type in a search for each package and download them as rpms. Then all you have to do is go into the file you downloaded to and left click on the rpm file and it will begin the install for you. Try it and see if you have any other questions. The rpm files at rpmfind.net are best for the Mandrake-Linux OS if they have mdk in their name and show as Mandrake rpm's.

Teddy The warning you are getting is probably no newline at end of file ..i think it means that the last character of your program is in exactly the last line of the file, the warning just pops up because that could mean a broken/incomplete file. just add a couple of blank lines at the end of your file.

RE: [newbie] compile rdesktop on PPC?
I can't help you with compiling .c sources, however, using http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=rdesktop I have found some rpms you could download and install instead.

Re: [newbie] compile rdesktop on PPC?
Well, this is odd that you would get a .c by itself. You should normally have a configure script and a Makefile. If you do, you should also have a file called INSTALL which is a textfile with installation instructions. If you don't have INSTALL most compilations and installations using Makefiles are as follows: ./configure make make install You probably need to be root for make install unless you pass a --prefix flag and change where the program will be installed. But with that out of the way, since you said you only got a .c (which is very odd), you can compile a simple .c program with the following: gcc -Wall foo.c -o foo However, depending on the complexity of the program, this may not be enough. You may need to use -I flags to include files not in the expected paths. You may need flags like -lrt or -posix4. It all depends on what the program is doing.

The simplest way is to use 'cc'. Assuming somefile.c looks something
like this,
main() {
printf ("Hello Merle\n");
}
You can feed it to cc like this:
$ cc somefile.c
That will either complain about syntax errors or generate an executable
file called 'a.out'. You can execute your program like this:
$ ./a.out
It will then greet you as if your name were Merle.
