#1 where to find X11 files

[Anonymous]

I tried to install BLT 2.4v on Red hat 7.1 Linux
system. At first, I configured and succeeded. but when
I maked the file by "make".
It said it couldn' find X11/Xlib.h, X11/Xutil.h and
X11/Xproto.h.
Where can i find them or what package I should
install?
(I installed gnome on my computer.)

Thank you!

I have the same problem with blt2.4u - see make results below:

[robert@localhost blt2.4u]$ make

I have found most of the X*.h files in
/usr/X11R6/include/X11 with the exception of Xproto.h (there
is a file Xfuncproto.h in this directory).

Any clues as to how to get this installation to work would
be most appreciated

The X11 files should be in /usr/X11R6/include. This
should be standard on all Redhat systems. If the include
files are missing (can libX11.so* be found anywhere?),
it's likely the you didn't install them. They are typically
part of an X11 developers package.

Send me (gah@siliconmetrics.com) the output of ./configure
and I'll see what I can find out. I think that configure
should complain if it can't find X.

What I did, with blt2.4u, on cygwin, was tell the configure
script where the X11 includes are, because blt apparently
won't find them in /usr/X11R6/include:

../configure --with-tcl=/lib --with-tk=/lib
--with-tcllibs=/lib --with-tklibs=/lib
--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include

(In an unrelated note, I also had to add a symbolic link
because blt could not find my /lib/libtcl84.a, so I made
a symbol link named /lib/libtcl8.4.a)
