Thanks a lot, it works for X11R6. For Qt it didn't help, so I symlinked that. Because H_TeXMeX_H is not subscribed to this newsgroup I posted your advice to the LQ thread (mentioning you as the author, of course). I hope this is OK with you.
Hmm. Slackware uses usually unmodified stuff from original sources and puts it where the original authors thought it belongs to. As a conclusion I would think that everything in Slackware where it is supposed to be. That, however, would mean that VirtualBox tries to find things in less common places... Not sure, but maybe there's room for an update of the configure script that comes with VirtualBox... Alex Baer Chris Wolfe wrote: > Just ignore this if I'm off base but: PATH or LIBRARY_PATH?
