I have /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.10 and libXpm.so.4 (sym link to
first lib) so I don't know why it is failing. I'm doing everything as
root so it is not a permissions issue.
Here is the output from config.log I think you are talking about :
configure:2769: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -L/usr/X11R6/lib conftest.c
-lICE 1>&5
configure:2832: checking for XpmReadFileToXpmImage in -lXpm
configure:2851: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lXpm -lXpm
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM -lICE -lX11 1>&5
ld: cannot open -lXpm: No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:
#line 2840 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
char XpmReadFileToXpmImage();
int main() {
XpmReadFileToXpmImage()
; return 0; }
Thankx,
Aaron
